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

Here is the dino body, tail and back legs.

The front legs/arms/wings will be next. I'm going to base them on the wings of a bat...

Cheers Mike.
I might have a few late nights coming my way.

Tim_LIVID: Not planning to animate because the comp rules are just to model and texture. Would be nice to do if I find the time.

The arms need a lot more work but here is my progress so far.

The front arms/supporting legs should look more like the wings of a bat.

I hated the previous wings so here we go again.
They also act as front feet.

Thanks RubberChicken.

He can't fly, he uses his very strong back legs to jump and then the wings just help him glide and land softly.

I'm happy with the shape and size of the wings now.

Next I need to attach the wings to the body and then get some detail into the model before I start to texture.

Thanks to Pony and III_Demon for the encouragement in the chat room and getting me to try and finish my dino.
