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

Modeling part is finished for me...even if it doesn't really looks like a hardcore-mecha.....let's call it a "Tuned Wasp" for Espionage purposes....
Will start to texture it now.....if that's okey

and another problem, i made a major mistake - my ant has no separete legs or head - it is just one subd. i guess i am not knowing how to model right - i think animating will never work (besides time is too short)

it has no history and the wire does not look dense either - and yes it is optimized already. and next time i model something i leave the legs seperate. here is a pic of wireframe (adl, please take the last ic to showcase, not the wireframe).Originally posted by Kurt
Babyduck optimized your scene and delet history that should lower your file down, and your using sub-d it will make your files larger. You can separte the part in poly.

I´m very pleased with everyone´s entries, good work guys!
Did you guys know that the thread itself hasn´t gone down from the Top 5 since the new site opened up? This is been a great team effort, and I really wish best of lucks to everybody since there´s quite a few competitors trying it out. Thanks Guys!
Great, now with the comments
el_newty:Looks like Nurbs right? at least the wings? Increase Render Tesselation in the Attribute Editor. It´ll look better. Excellent entry overall. (and try to keep those images small, 600 pixels wide)
mumbojumbo_13: Excellent Shell! Looks awesome from my POV, all technology style! Same advise as with el_newty.
BulletProof: Excellent entry! Proving very difficult to beat! I agree with Kurt though, it still looks like it could be on the Discovery Channel, however, this is something that can be overcomed in texturing though, so I wish you a happy texturing! (Gotta love those eyes man!)
Babyduck: I´m pleased with the way your entry is coming, since, I´ve been seeing all your updates. The legs themselves look ok to me, and you´ve even tried cutting them apart. You could try Clean Topology on your model, this should lower a bit filesize, although check that you don´t lose anything in the process. Check upon Maya´s docs for Extracting Polygon Faces, this might give you some pointers on how to extract those legs. Hope it helps bud!

i tried extracting polys - but i got 2 seperate polygons and the subd with its cache stayed the same. and if i transfer the 2 parts back to subd, i loose all the changes i made on subd level (and these are quite a lot - all the edges for instance). and as i have no clue how to texture yet, i will spend rest of the time for texturing, shading, light setting up, and rendering. animating it would be overkillOriginally posted by adldesigner

but one thing i already learned: trying to model something will give a lot of exerience - and if i would make the ant too good, i had nothing to imrove on later :p - not everybody starts with perfect first model
