This course will look at the fundamentals of modeling in Maya with an emphasis on creating good topology. We'll look at what makes a good model in Maya and why objects are modeled in the way they are.

Hi!
I would like to know if one of you has an idea on how to create an ice shader like the one the ice cubes on the following image have:

the best way to learn is to download such a shader and taking a look at its hypershade graph to see how the nodes stack together to create the effect.

Ice Shader

Second possibility is, to stick together your own shading network...use some of the shading utilities, like sampler info aso.

maybe, you can't create the look you want, but get a good idea of the way they work together....just play around a bit...it's great fun...believe me....

OK!
Now, I found a shader that looks nearly like the one that I want to create but how Do I import the shader in the hypergraph?
Sorry for that post

-> Import is really easy to use...
