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

Mac Maya PLE on Jaguar
1. Although the Explorer window pops up with the welcome if you close it and click the Tutorials button nothing happens... Except you get an error message in the Mel Box.
2. I have noticed that lights render all streaky and as though they were done using only 256 colours. I don't know that this is the norm cos it is the PLE version and the renders are watermarked anyway but it doesn't give a very good idea of what Maya's renderer is like!
Anyone got any clues?

negative, the 4.5 PLE is not out yet. supposed to be avvailable soon, though. and the 4.5 version for mac is much better than 3.5 - not only from the features, but stability as well (i heard, have no mac)Originally posted by Darkon
Hey Gazz, you might want to check out the AW site, I believe there is a PLE of Maya 4.5 available now with some changes from user feedback

Is there much difference between Jaguar and the earlier versions (i.e. 10.1.5) of MacOSX?? Faster, Better?

Well I have only been using it a few days but the graphics seems to be faster and there are some neat little keyboard shortcuts. Maya 3.5.1 seems to run O.K. on it and is probably slightly faster as far as real-time stuff is concerned.
It also allows you to connect to a PC without third party software - great for me since I use both platforms - and has some handy Unix programs to hand in the Terminal like Telnet and Pico.
Cannot say much more than that at the moment, except that I really like OSX and running Maya on it makes me really want to learn and use the program. Maya 4.5 will prove better on the Mac since it allows you to use both processors for rendering - that is when MP Macs will shine.
Opinion: worth getting and easy peasy to upgrade!

I don't know whether is Apple or A/Ws fault. The only fix it seems is to upgrade to Maya 4.5 which is some £500?
I hope there is a fix for this because if you spend £1499 on a program you shouldn't have to then spend another £500 to get rid of this irritating problem.
I will investigate further!

Could this be a default shadow mapping per light. Although I dont think there's anything wrong, try raytracing;
Choose raytrace shadows in the lights attribute editor, and turn on raytrace in render globals.
