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

Unit Scale

Asked in my challenge thread, but may be seen by more here, so...

For environments, use 1 unit = 1 foot (or 3 units = 1 meter for the metric among us ) to help you with scale. Make sure entryways are at least 6 units (6 feet/2 meters) tall and 4 units (4 feet/1.3 meters) wide. Feel free to make them larger.

What units are used? If it's the grid units, then what should the grid be set to? I tried setting my grid to represent feet, and the building grew to where I could no longer see it.

I apologize if this is a very silly question, but I can't find it in my books anywhere. user added image

I usually keep it at its default of centimeters. Maya doesn't really seem to care what you set it at. I keep it at centimeters.
