New Tutorial: Realistic Outdoor Environments

AKA mental ray - Exteriors Volume Two

I've had this one in the pipeline for a very long time now, finally had chance to finish it of.

At 11 hours long it's the most involved tutorial i've worked on for SimplyMaya. Also one of the best, but hey i'm bias so check it out for yourself.

Thank you very much for the heads up i'm downloading it now and taking a look. My copy is fine so it may have been damaged in the upload.

Thanks again.

Seems to be a couple of minutes of audio missing no idea how that happened. Fixed version of part 21 will be online in a couple of hours. Sorry about that.

Thanks again for the heads up.
