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 think mods should be able to compete... what you guys think? winners decisions of course will be un biased user added image

Kevin, I second that.
However due to the nature of the comps it would be better if winners were chosen by a poll thread.

yes I will see how the polls go on the battles as so far the test polls that have been done are a nightmare, and every one just seems to follow the guy above them.

I will think of a way my adl - btw good to see your new sig under your avartar! LOL I knew it wouldnt last user added image

Kevin, allowing the mods to compete is a great idea, but maybe if a mod is the winner, then we have to still pick out the runner up. The only reason i say this is some may think that the mod was a set up to just give no points out that month user added image. I doubt this would be the case though.

I'm sorry for sounding like a total retard(well, if the shoe fits...), but how does this contest work, and what do I get if I win? Also, is the noobie contest separate with a different winner, because I am new to maya? Thanks.

Hey drknow, sorry for the delayed responce to your message, I missed it. Basically how this works is you decide if you want to join noobie, or normal (noobie of course if your new), then you name a thread like this April challenge - drknow - noobie. You then have to decide what you want to model along the guidelines of the challenge, this month is hell.. so you have to model something that would fit under the category of hell. Then you have one month (starting from the first day of the month) to model your creation. You have to post progress pictures along with wireframes along the way, and when you are complete you have to name your thread FINAL RENDER and post your final render to show the peope here, and also for the judges to decide. if you win the noobie contest you get a badge under your name that says "noobie competition winner" if you win as normal you will receive points and a badge that says "competition winner" user added image, hope that cleared things up. Cya.
