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

If you create a shape and you start to search, sooner or later you find something that looks close.

Did you know that the amount of images that can be shown in a computer monitor is finite? you just multiply all the posible values for the pixels and you get an enormous but finite number.This number includes all the possible pictures shown, all the possibles pages written, etc..

i'm definitely with taquion on this one - originality is a myth. user added image

Hope you are finished in time!

Excellent looking model for such a short time Arran, I like the thruster type bits at the back, all round very good!

Arron, I like what you have done in the time you had. Certainly like your modeling style, I always have. I really would have enjoyed seeing it if you had 2 months, it would be killer I know!!!

Yeah, nice model man! Very clean as usual.... would have been better if you had it an an environment.... even a docking port would have been cool.

It still rocks either way!

Good luck! user added image
