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

Thanks Acid

have a small update user added image

Ive been looking at alot of PVC boots (hehe) and these in particular dont have a great deal of creasing in terms of detail, though I've exagerated the sharpness of these just to bring them out a bit

impressive glove

how do you do it? did you just duplicate the faces on the arm and play around with it?

that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"

Computer skills I should have:
Objective C, C#, Java, MEL. Python, C++, XML, JavaScript, XSLT, HTML, SQL, CSS, FXScript, Clips, SOAR, ActionScript, OpenGL, DirectX
Maya, XSI, Photoshop, AfterEffects, Motion, Illustrator, Flash, Swift3D

nice boot. user added image

have looked at this a few times and always thought the shoulders kind of looked off - they just don't seem to have enough mass - maybe the clavicle needs to be raised...?

Thanks, yeah Im aware on the shoulder, I believe I mentioned it on the first post.

Chirone

thanks, yeah I could have masked the arm in Zbrush to extract the mesh but I did it in Maya as I have selected sets on various parts of the model so I just used that option as I had it to hand, then just did duplicate faces command for that area...sorted, then as usual sent an obj to Zbrush. Once in Zbrush I did an inflate from the deformation pallete at a value of 4 to displace it and give it some thickness from the arm itself. I then went into project master at a very hi res (5million) and using the deformatiion, and normalise options with fade turned off sculpted the creases using the line tool then after brought back in the main 3d sculpting and shaped them and smoothed them out.

hope that helps

LOl you are the second person this week to say that, I think a little re search as to who this character is and what colors she wears.

It would be severely bad taste to dress a character in a uv grid texture, non?

Anyway, updates nearer the weekend
