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

you could UV map it before hand, and you could export a displacement map. dont ask me how to though, haha

Yes you have to export a displacement map, and then render with metal ray to get the high subdivision model.
You cant work with that poly count right now. And dont even think in binding that.
In z-plugin's tab you have MULTI DiSPLACEMENT, there you export the displacement map, but you have to do other stuff first, like creating a morph target to comeback to the original low poly object then go to that option MULTI DISPLACEMENT and then exporting the displacement.

Woah!!

dont do that!! Import your base level mesh, then smooth it once, then add the displacemnt map. Maya just cant handle that sort of Geo without falling over....

That looks interesting...

You may want to look at some anatomy reference. The proportions a tad bit off. You should really try and nail the forms and proportions at a low division level, and slowly move up the resolution, and add detail as you go. At the moment it looks like you imported the mesh divided it 6 times and sculpted the fine details.

Another thing that you should try, is using the move tool at a low division level to move around the points, and block in the forms.

anyway, looking forward to seeing how you progress.
