Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

I think my lighting tends to go more to the cartoony/dramatic side of things, as opposed to the realism, but Im still interested to learn about that gamma stuff and linear lighting. Hoping I can pick up some tips on other mr nodes that I have never really used until now. Used the sampler info node for the first ever time today
Done some good stuff this week on the course, been looking at different materials, improving specularity, glass shading, and some different techniques and cheats for all things related. Looked at the Bokeh effect also, and had a quick go at the parti-volume shader, damn that things tempermental!
Not all covered in this pic, but this is one of the scenes we've been given to test out some of this stuff on.

The course I am doing is the 8 week CG Society workshop 'Lighting and Rendering in Maya', with Jeremy Birn.

I might still do something with it, it was a material test really.might transfer the shader onto the other glass objects.
The fresnel effect is working on that, no? (The irrational floating ball)

Its difficult to tell on the sphere but the bottle to the right (most obvious) doesn't appear to have it.
