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

The floor's texture looks a bit pixelated, but as its going to be in the distance for your renders it wont make a difference.

the work is TRULY incredible but i see no point. i (me) took up maya to great other worldly images and things too use in film that is too expensive to hire or too dangerous to do, example.., blowing up a city.
take it easy and life will be easy

Mirek,
this is just my thoughts, but every 3D artists goal is to be able to simulate reality, Even if it is other-worldly. I love this project and would like to say that DJblazer is amazing

The thing is that once you modelled something, you can do whatever you want with it. For example I can now blow up my room in Maya, you can't do that with a camera just as easy.
thanks Joopson

For me the point of doing something like this would be to better understand the nuances of materials, lighting and rendering to create a very realistic scene that looks like its been taken with a camera, your right, why spend all this time modeling, texturing and rendering when you can just get a camera out and shoot it, but wheres the fun and achivement in that?
In a real world application doing something like this would be great for marketing a new product thats still in the design phase, for promotion etc where the design may change quite a bit, think cars etc.
The processes Dj is showing can then be taken into otherworldly type stuff, using the techniques used in this project. I think that most people start off modeling somethinig thats actually there to get the skills required, then it makes creating images for film etc a lot easier to do as you can then concentrate on creating SFX using the models, with a lot less messing with materials and lighting.

Don't be afraid of what you can see, but be afraid of what you cant see.

Gster came up with something interesting in particular, non- defensive.
anyway, yes, great living room, excellant modelling (did i already say that??)
i thought maya was for animation and SPX, ect and cameras were for to capture 'real life.' thats what we use them for at film school!, guess Im (and everyone else at uni) is wrong!?
take it easy and life will be easy

When doing a scene like this do you put everything in its own layer and just hide things while working on another piece? Does this help keep maya from lagging if this is what you do?
If now do you do everything in it own and then import it into one scene when you make what you're modeling? If so, how do you import that model in?
Obviously I'm still pretty new to maya
