Maya for 3D Printing - Rapid Prototyping

In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

I'm not really understanding the problem. Could you post a pic or 2? Glad the video helped. user added image

not sure, but does pressing 6 do it for ya'? 4 is wireframe, 5 is shaded, and 6 is shaded with textures. Hope I'm on the right track -> haven't read this entire thread.

Yeah sorry! I'm not the best explainer in the world user added image

The picture on the left is rendered (Using Render->Render) whereas the picture on the right is rendered by the hardware render buffer... I wanted the final render to look shaded like the one on the right... the way I understood it was to use a a shader like a Blinn shader? At the moment, I'm using surface shader with the texture file attached.

Cheers again user added image

Oh and btw, the reason the one on the left is a bit blurry is I still have motion blur on user added image

Oh and one last simple thing... how can I change the bg colour to something else? Like a gradient blue to look like ocean water?

Thanks in advance user added image

Your blinn probably had reflectivity on by default. Although that wouldn't render unless you have raytracing turned on.

Select your camera and in its attribute editor, open the environment tab.

OK - so the camera bit for changing the bg colour... but how do I make my render shadowed like that? Do I have to change my surface shader to a Blinn?

Hmmm, I might not have explained myself very well... the picture on the left is how it does render, the picture on the right is how I wanted it to. Basically, I wanted to still have shadows turned on for a texture map... I've looked through all the options, but can't find it anywhere?
