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 have tried this way to light the interior but is not definitive. Im open to any sugestion. this ship is intended to be permanently in deep space far from any planet because an accident could destoy it due to its cargo. So I would like to iluminate it only with his own lights and perhaps a soft backgrown light from the galaxy.

actually - making everything quads isn't necessary - it really depends on what you're doing - so if your model is organic and will deform than quads are important. however, if it's a hard surface and it looks fine when you render, than it really doesn't matter. having a clean mesh is a good thing to work towards sure - but making everything quads is a bit of a myth.Originally posted by hammer.horror
about the mesh - you should really aim for quads, that just means a polygon with 4 sides, not triangles or 5 sided or whatever.
really loving your model so far taquion - especially the shape - it reminds me a little of flight of the navigator - it might be nice to chrome this up a bit.
one thing - i might lighten your background color of your camera - just so we can see the shape a little better when you render. I know the final image will probably be on a black background - but at the moment i think it's getting a little lost.

The triangles and the many sides polys are there not because of a smoothing as I said, but because I converted a original nurb shape to polys. I Igree with you, and I think is better to spend the time adding details and refining the rear part wich by now is somewhat undefined.
Following the tip of Hammer, Im testing other ways to make the windows glow and i have found that using a mix of incandescense and glow in the material atributes works fine for me. The light though has the advantage that the transparency of the windows allows you to see some movement in the interior when playing an animation, adding some realism.
I know that the ship is not very original It looks like the son of the enterprise and battlestar galactica and it will be worst
when i add the engine im modeling now and the openings for the fighters.
About the background im planning to use a picture. I have already downloaded a few that could do fine.
