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

All great projects succeed one step at a time. One lone step firmly placed.

But my opinion is that these 10 week crunch courses are most valuable to those who already have strong artistic talent who needs to learn to apply it. Good luck to those attending...I wish I was there...but I'm here so I have to learn on my own.

Other people on the course come from different directions. One chap is head of his own advertising firm and wants to learn Maya simply so he knows what he can expect from his staff who use the tool. Another chap is an aeronautical engineer and sees Maya as useful visualisation tool within his own industry.
Some people do join the Escape course with dreams of Pixar and a guaranteed job afterwards. Some people are successful, some are not. As T3logy and MtMckinley have pointed out, success will ultimately be determined by the hard work and talent of the individual.

I have to agree, having a qualification is all well and good but for someone like me who is looking for a way into the industry I am interested in intensive training so by the end of the course I can have a portfolio of work that will attract employers. I understand that this sort of approach won't work with all types of industry but one that is based (amongst other things) on creativity then this is ideal.

I intend to have showroom with about 5 differnt campers all with slightly different designs and textures.
One last thing, this texture is for my girlfirnd which explains the excess of pink and fairys.

Although I don't dig the color, but that's ok.Does Escape focus mostly on high-res stuff (movies, tv, etc) or are there game courses as well? Or do they just go over info and you apply it like you want. Just curious.

I have also done a few extra bits on them (adding the VW sign ect)
In the end there will be ...
1) The pink girly one
2) The Red and White classic design
3) Black 'Hot Rod' Style
4) A white flower-power surfer van
5) The Happy Hippy psycedelicious fractal design
They will all have different insides like fridges, beds, roof racks with case .... im not sure why cos the camera probably won't see them but I ... well im not sure why actually, I just will.
Any coments would be greatly recieved as this is the 1st time I have posted any of my work.

It really depends on what the students are aiming to do after the course, but at the moment it's still quite low poly. Still, it's only week 2 so it could all change in time.
One thing you might like, on the colleges Intranet (our internal network) they have your site as a usefull tutorials link. I was like 'hey I know him, I chat to him on this forum!'
Just incase you needed an ego boost.
