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

Floating Windows? is it possible?
Is there any wya in maya you can create a floating window where you can view a video. i.e a reference movie for example.
Rather than keep minimizing maya or making maya's whole window smaller
Thanx guys?

It took me many months to get mine but if you want to get into 3d work seriously,having two two monitors really does help a lot!
I know it's not always an option but for following tutorials etc it's a wonder compared to smaller windows or switching between them. And it's brilliant for reference images whilst working on a model.
So even if it takes a while saving those hard earned pennies, it's worth it in the long run.

Coz you'll good at what you do,..granted but surely wont you come to depend on it, then when you get a job in 3d chances are you wont be lucky enough to have one in your first job.However, not a big deal if you have to go from 2 monitors to one monitor. lol
Nevertheless a second monitor would be awesome and would anser ALL my problems yes.
Thanks DANGO77

So having a second monitor for research and reference is only an aid to your learning, and I'm pretty sure if you said to your future employer "I'm bringing in a second monitor to improve my workflow, is that ok?", that it would not be met with a negative response! lol!
And with your mind full of the knowledge you've learnt by that point hopefully you wouldn't be bothered by a quick change of window to double check part of a reference pic.
Just an idea anyway, everyone works in a slightly different way, and as long as you stick to the base rules of the area you are studying,and get to the result you are after the path you take is not quite as important.
Best of luck with your journey to that result!
