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

New tute
Just to test the water really, Im due to start a new tute soon for Simply Maya and am thinking about character facial setup, you know blendshapes etc with sdks for teeth, tongue brows. It will basically be an incite to how it can be done this way as opposed to say facial rigging with bones, which I dont do.
Is there an interest for this out there or would you rather see some modeling tute again?
Cheers
Jay

What about a Zbrush detailing and texturing, along with making hair, al a like your villan dude? Starting form a base mesh that you go over showing the loops and what you need prior to diving into Z (not the modeling of the mesh in maya but just an overview) laying out the UV's etc etc???

Also what about a smaller tutorial on clothing a character (not using cloth) and gettin the proper blendshapes etc for animation as it one thing that I cant get my head round! Don't know how viable or if its been covered previousley???

This is a great way to create new character heads and utilize the old facial expressions without remodelling plus corrective shapes on joint deformation. I was going to cover some Zbrush too to add the extra ooomph to the facial shapes.
I think our own SM member, JHaydock has been the only person to witness this technique first hand in our studio whilst doing some work for us...

Go with what you feel is missing. There is nothing on Facial Rigs here at all and I know its supposed to be quite hard. ZBrush is one for the future I feel once the site is unified.

R@nSiD: I think you're right, I'll just go with the flow...I will drop in some Z brush for the extra tweaking of things too
