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

I would suggest that you display your models as screen-grabs instead of renders. Since game art is real-time and not rendered, people would get to see the art in more of a real-time setting. What I generally do is Use No Lights so that you avoid the default lighting look that Maya gives things.

got you - that makes sense. thanks.Originally posted by DJbLAZER
I would say it that a few years ago all models used Gourad shading because that was the fastest (and ugliest). Nowadays with advanced gfx-cards and shaders, realtime materials can be very advanced, so I dont' think it's totally wrong to use a blinn or a phong to show off the model. However if you want to show off the modeling and texturing it's best to use as simple materials/light setup as possible as it's the model/texturing that's important and not the graphics engine/renderer etc. therefore what Mike said is the best with no lights.
