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

i tired doing this, failed but partly succeeded

by partly succeeded i mean i managed to get the GUI to show up (i didn't try it out)

i did what the readme said... for a while
i put the zebruv.mll and rainUVPrescale.py into the [Maya installation folder]/bin/plun-ins

i wasn't sure where the zebruvUI.mel was meant to go...
it said it should go in the project folder but there wasn't a folder named scripts in my current project... so i made one and shoved it in there

i'm not sure if it worked, because when i typed
Code:
source "zebruvUI.mel";
zebruvUI()
i don't think it worked
so i opened the script editor and went file > source script
and it took me to it's default directory...
i went up a few levels (2 to be exact) and i saw the scripts folder i think the readme might be refering to
so i shoved a copy of the zebruvUI.mel into that folder
and typed
Code:
source "zebruvUI.mel";
zebruvUI();
(notice the ; at the end of the second line there)
and it worked

i think the important thing is that you put the zebruv.mll and rainUVPrescale.py files in the right plug-in folder

and then put the .mel file in the right scripts folder
C:\Users\<name>\Documents\maya\<version>\scripts
for me... i'm using vista 64, or it could actually mean the project folders you make when you make a new project directory in maya... not sure

then run the code

Code:
source "zebruvUI.mel";
zebruvUI();
again, i just saw the GUI pop up, i haven't actually tried it out




that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"

Computer skills I should have:
Objective C, C#, Java, MEL. Python, C++, XML, JavaScript, XSLT, HTML, SQL, CSS, FXScript, Clips, SOAR, ActionScript, OpenGL, DirectX
Maya, XSI, Photoshop, AfterEffects, Motion, Illustrator, Flash, Swift3D
