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

Shatter Effect
It kind of sucks.(IMHO) Anybody had any luck getting higher-res cracks and breaks?
Anyone know if this feature has been improved upon at all in 4.5?

I have never run across anything that will show me a good way to do it. I tried a simple sphere shatter and it wasn't very good.
What I did was key a sphere falling and just as it hits the ground plane substituted a Dynamic Shattered copy.
This also leads me into a question about debris. How do you get good looking debris off of something that breaks? Do you setup particles and then instance in geometry?
Thanks,
Tem

There are many ways one could go about that.
At work, we mainly create our objects, then, break them up using Maya's splitting, and detatching toolset, then for debris, we mainly use many layers of particles for dust, and we have stock debris explosions that we comp into the shot in post.
I wish there was a "make kick ass explosion with debris" setting in Maya, but, not yet
Untill then, keep rendering those layers!
