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

speeder bike
It's been a while so Happy New Year to all of you.
I couldn't really get back into making my car after so long off so I thought I'd start something new. It's a speeder bike from Return of the Jedi, I rekon you'd probably guess that from the title of the post though. I'm trying my hand at sub-d's and am not entirely sure I'm comfortable using them but hey I'll give it a shot!
The 2 halves are not joined as I am not finished modeling yet and the shader is just to make it look a little prettier. As usual I'll be pleased with any crit or suggestions,
Cheers, Mat.

Thanks also Element_Khaos, I made the tubes by extruding a nurb circle along a curve that I made following the path of the tube on the speeder. I set the output at poly with a count of 800 then selected every other ring of faces and extruded them inwards. there is probably an easier way to do this but it seemed the most logical one at the time. Hope that has explained it, having looked at what I've written I wouldn't blame you if you had less of a clue than before!!
Take it easy,
Mat.

RC: theres nothing wrong with SDs dude, so thats another week of mel scripting for you, laddie!!!
Polys is a much wiser choice for this type of thing anyway, seem as though its a hard surface job.
look forward to the rest
