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

***Spoiler***Why not in that scene, she just simply beat the terminator up again and *then* go after Connor? I mean, she did know there was no danger to skynet there right? and why didnt her skin come back? she can make it come back at will

Man, machines get destroyed.. and it takes her a while to regenerate skin. I think regenerating her skin was not a main priority at that time, and she was damaged, her legs were gone and could of been half malfunctioning. I almost felt like arnold powered up and held with his life or somethign.. because that part was one of the best in the whole movie. The way arnold was holding her, and her time remaining was making it hard for her to exactly go and beat the shit out of arnold.. because of course its not like she can do it in 3 seconds either. These are my thoughts.

Great Spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.The mediocre mind is incapable of understanding the person who refuses to bow blindly to conventional prejudices and chooses instead to express their opinions courageously and honestly.

One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half.

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence. True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.

I don't see what everyones problem was with Matrix Reloaded. It's an action movie and had some story to it what did you expect. I still think it was better then the first. IMHO, I mean the awe and shock of effects isn't there. However the cheography was great for the fight scenes. As well as the continuation of the story line. All in all i enjoyed it quite a bit as a sequal.

otaku: I agree that they were both good for their CG stuff, but as for the movies themselves, I didnt like either of them. Not what I expected from them. As George Lucas once said, "You can't build a story around a special effect. A special effect without a story is a pretty boring thing." -- from The Making of the Star Wars Trilogy

Ghost-VE: IMO, it sucked. What did I expect from it? Way more than it delivered. The fight scene was way too long and over-exaggerated. The whole movie was pretty much a "do what we did last time but only more of it" type of production. And as for the story, well... A lot was left out and more should have been added. Some was too hard to comprehend, and other parts were totally unnecessary. In The Matrix, you could follow the characters, you knew who they were and you knew, at least a little, of where they came from. In Matrix:Reloaded, most of those characters just showed up, with no explanation as to what they're doing there or why they were there.

Perhaps they will better the trilogy with part three, but Reloaded needs to be Remade.

What they forgot in T3 was the fact that no nuclear bomb can be released simply by software. There needs to be human intervention somewhere along the line.

Also the T-X controlling the cops cars etc by remote is plain stupid.
The cars computer chip can control acceleration, but not steering or braking.

Lastly all computers need a power source. So im sure the survivors would have realized this and turned off the power. user added image

I haven´t seen the movie .. yet I feel there´s no substance to this post.

Did you actually know that to make a nuclear bomb explode .. you need the guy to push the button? How about we get a machine to do it?

As per the power source one, watch Animatrix. (or Matrix for that matter) :p
