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

Also make sure your lights are more colorful. Sunlight isn't white last time I checked...

By the way
ok soo .....
1. Industrial robot assembles a small bipedal robot. (symbolizing .. um birth .. mother, son where mother is the industrial robotic arms and son will be the small bipedal robot)
2. Small bipedal robot, son, is finished and turned on.
he has trouble finding his feet, falls over and breaks a component.
3. Mother robot ( industrial arms) hastily repairs the broken components on son robot.
4. Son robot still has trouble finding his feet.
he starts to fall again, but this time mother is ready for it.
mother grabs his antenna's before he falls all the way.
5. mother and son share a moment together, holding hands and looking at each other.. ( i gotta figure out how to put eyes on the industrial arms .. lol no ideas yet.. any suggestions?)
6. Son is excited to look around, son tries to pull mother robot with him as he looks around but mother robot is an industrial robot and is restricted in her movements, Mother cant keep up with son.
7. Son decides to bring mother all the parts to build another small robot.
8.Mother finishes building the 2nd small bipedal robot.. Son pulls mothers processor out and puts it into the 2nd small robot that mother just built.
9. industrial robotic arms go limp as son removes mothers processor, son puts the processor into the 2nd robot...
10. mother and son leave the factory hand in hand..
The end.
yeah so thats the little story im hoping to make here in this factory. theres a couple things im going to need to figure out.. ive drawn out most of the assemblaly process of Son ( will be the same for 2nd robot/Soon to be mother).
how ever im thinking i need to model a van to come and deliver a box of parts.. i dont want the scene just starting of with a robot assembly.. i want to have a human come and deliver the parts but.. alas atm im incredible terrible at organic models oh yeah... and im just as terrible at organic riging... bloody clusters and skin weights... lol what are those..
ill get there- Ruff
(ps, any story suggestions are welcome)

For Mental ray use Incandescence instead of glow. if you're using final gathering the result should be much better... have a look in this thread:

cheers
So from what i gathered they were saying the incandes will give slight lighting with.. FGather for MR.., and a better glow?
the problem i have with that is that the renders will take way to long..FG that is, great for a still image to look great but i need the econo render.. lol one that looks .. on the upper level of mediocre and fast.. ish..
im expecting this short clip to be in the realm of 5-8 mins long
Mind you that being said i have alot to learn about rendering still... lol i still render to *.avi lol shame on me
(Note to Self... learn to composite
)anywho thanks benny ill give the incandes a go

You can cheap your way out of it if you can't model a human, you can model the boots and pants and shoot it so you get the feel of him whistling, walking into the factory, then you model his hands and maybe his sleeves but hes carrying a huge box with like "fragile" in big bold red letters stamped onto it (should be distracting enough lol) you never see his face (maybe model a cap so you can glimpse the top of it, maybe) you never see his torso because its a upper body front shot and the box is blocking pretty much everything, you're focusing on the box and then hes gone.
