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

Urban Pacification
It's been about a year since I did any work on this project, all sorts of boring reasons I won't go into. Anyhoo. I have resurrected my project, and am playing with compositing it into some live video. Going to have some fun doing this and if there is any interest I will post updates on here.
On with the showing.

Not much in this update. I did a fresh render, improving the final gather settings and adjusted the lighting, some minor additions to the environment elements.
I would really like to learn about render passes/layers. If anyone could point me at a good resource I would be most grateful.

The animation is the test animation I did over a year ago. I agree, when I get round to animating to suit the shot more specifically I will hope to add that sense of weight.
I do hope to populate the shot with additional animated characters/drones, as well as smoke/dust/particulate matter. Although for this shot I wasn't going to have it under attack. I have plans for another tracking test that's a little more "exciting". Once I have learnt all I need to to make this shot work.
I think the track is pretty solid, there's not much movement, at least not so much that I'm unhappy with it, I think it must be your tired eyes ... now get some sleep man!

Updated the render using render passes, with mixed results, takes a lot longer to get the final image, especially when you take the compositing into consideration. Even so the actual rendering time has increased no end, plus there is a very thin black line around some areas that I'm not happy about. I obviously have more to learn!
Also added some materials to the model.
