Introduction to Maya - Rendering in Arnold

This course will look at the fundamentals of rendering in Arnold. We'll go through the different light types available, cameras, shaders, Arnold's render settings and finally how to split an image into render passes (AOV's), before we then reassemble it i

well make sure you've got some lights in your scene, and make sure they're not inside something. a point light is good for a quick and dirty render. just raise it above everything else.

also, what kinds of textures do you have on your objects? the black rock in particular...

Accept no substitutions.

I agree with Neo. Its a lighting issue. Ensure your lights are above geometry and that they are not in a layer that is V (visable) is off or is set to T (Template) or R (Reference).

This will cause the lights not to render correctly.
