Maya for 3D Printing - Rapid Prototyping
In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

Imagination is more important than knowledge.

create a light (directional) and set the intensity to a low value (i.e. .01 ) then turn on FG in the render globals, leave it at defaul, or lower it, based on what u are rendering, and u should get a result similar to this\

Actually, I have a whiter clock one that isn't online, but it basically was just that scene with the intensities up a bit. Just 1 directional with shadows off, and two spotlights with shadows on. Depth shadows, with the filter on 5.
You can't use incandescence because it cancels out the shadow. You can't assign a light to just the bg, because of the same. Try upping the diffuse on the bg to 1, so it displays all the light it is receiving.

didnt work...
I did as you said and my render is way too white as you can see. I set the light to an intensity of 0,01 and didnt change anything in the FG. The material of the dog is a basic lambert.
Anything else to do???

and put a plane under the dog and assign it a new lambert and give it a small diffuse and make the color white.
make sure the light intensity is set to a really small value, like .001

I rendered this using FINALGATHER with a poly plane for a backdrop with incandescence turned all the way up and a poly ground plane with the incandescence turned up slightly. Although you can light the scene with an incandescent plane from above I took Vlads advice and used a directional light and softened the shadow settings. Lighting it with a incandescent plane works fine but you get stronger shadows using an actual light.

Could you link to a file with those reflective balls? I have a similar scene, but my reflective objects keep getting whited out.

I don't think this is how the penguin render was done 'cause the shadows in it are VERY dark directly under the figures, but its close. I'd be interested to see any other renders people can come up with to mimic this look. But then, of course, there is always Photoshop!
Any other examples, Vlad?
