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

Duplicate Special acting weird

Ok so im trying to model another face, this will be my second one if i can ever get it to work right...anywho when I do duplicate special it duplicates the muscle around the mouth right but the eye doesn't go to the right spot....even mirror geometry doesn't get it right, i froze the transformations for both the eye piece and mouth piece...posting pics.

Why so serious!!! ( always wanted to say that LOL)
It is better to center the sourceimage to the grid and use <insert> to place the manipulator at the centergrid point ( snap with X) then duplicate and scale in minus X( check normals).

I personally favor this way instead of the " automated" way this way you have more control about what you are doing

Will be interesting to see this progressuser added image

I do model faces simular to Ozgalis, but I dont mirror till I have blocked out one side..........dave

Edit:There are a few problems you need to look out for if you are going to take the model into say zbrush doing it this way
