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

having a go with 3Delight
(model and textures from a cd i found in a drawer)
its just a start, but the idea is to do something similar with the model and textures in 3Delight. So i will give that a go tomorrow.
3Delight like renderman also does curves so i might do some eyebrows and eye lashes and render as riCurves.

Renderman does curves as well, it also has a great interactive light tool which blew me away when Dylan first showed it to me, it's like the IPR but in a working manner

i got quite into fiddling with this skin shader. I've never actually used the fast skin shader before.
you can use maya shaders/utilities with 3delight too.
edit - i guess people would use it over prman because its free. also IPR works just fine.

i wasn't testing it for speed tbh. the render i did in mental ray only takes 30 seconds with my 6 year old macbook. its all about optimising.
i now use renderman at work more than i use mental ray. So i just was curious about the interface, rendering shadow maps not using a render farm, and i guess if i find a model that has a groom i'd like to try that.
