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 sketch looks good, but did it have to be so big?
Please read the guidelines at this post before posting anything further.

...it was really my first posting of a sketch.......but now I know for future reference.Right now im going to MDC and doing their AA in Computer Animation
I'm on the final strech...so hopefully by either sept or oct. I should be transferring to Florida Atlantic in davie and get my MFA in Computer Art.
Right now the animation class in MDC is really......how I can I say this without saying its crappy.......well let;s just say we are working on Maya 4 and well is a pretty basic class.
So I am trying to work on a few things at home and really get a feel for the program and what not.
Anywho.....are you going to school??

Too bad about MDCC but we all go thru that no matter where we go to school. I went to Miami International University of Art and Design and I kinda feel the same way. They didn't teach us half the stuff I needed to know about Maya and animation. I learned basically everything on my own... except psychology.
Just stick with it since it can only really help you when you make the transfer.Anyway, I did the MFA thing and now I'm teaching at Digital Media Arts College in Boca, about three miles from FAU. Have you checked them out?

And I haven't really looked at DMAC
will definately check it out.
RIght know I have the Florida Bright Futures scholarship which covers 75% of my tuition. If I can use that there, then i ill take it into MAJOR consideration.
That's really my priority. I am putting myself through school with that and a full time job lol
I really want to get the most out of maya....especially since it is mostly a male dominated career.
Anyway thanks for the info!!
BTW please check my attepmpt at a character WIP thread....i would love to get TONS of feedback from you guys seeing as though schoo isn't really the best resource for me.
Again thanks a lot guys!!

I wouldn't say I was successful. This is only my first job out of college. Just a stepping stone to what I actually want to do... Intergallactic domination! Mua ha ha ha!!!!
Say hello to Sergio and Steve Ford for me.

If you have 75% of your tuition paid for, why are you wasting it at MDCC? I know that sounds bad but seriously... Why not a school with a reputation for animation? Take that money and go for someplace that will satisfy you educationally. Not that MDCC is a bad school by any means. I almost went there myself, but only because I had to pay for school myself. Well, no matter. I'm sure it will all pan out for you. The important thing is that you keep at it. It's a tough field that we're in and practice only makes it easier.
