Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

bumo maps in ao
"First make a lambert node and make it white. Then plug the AO node into the ambient colour of the lambert then add your bump map as normal to the lambert and assign it to your mesh"
I've done this, but when I try to assign it to the mesh I get an error: error while parsing arguments
?

This is what displacement mapping does. Here's an example, with bump mapping on the left, and displacement on the right. Image
If you're getting the "error while passing arguments" error, try restarting Maya, and try again.
Imagination is more important than knowledge.

I saw this picture and assumed it was ao, but looking again now, it doesn't look to be. not from what I've learnt anyway.
thanks
