The purpose of this series is to get you confident with using arnold, and have a firm grounding in all it has to offer as a feature film, production render engine. We are going to spend our time going through arnold from top to bottom looking at all the key features of the render engine.

Welcome to the spherevfx video series on arnold for maya. The purpose of this series is to get you confident with using arnold, and have a firm grounding in all it has to offer as a feature film, production render engine. We are going to spend our time going through arnold from top to bottom looking at all the key features of the render engine.

In this tutorial, we will cover multiple stages of preparing the geometry for rendering. We will set up UVs, materials, textures, as well as a series of light sources.
We will look at some camera settings that can be adjusted to make our image more suitable for the architectural visualization style. We will setup two scenes, for night and day time environments. At the end, you will have a solid foundation for architectural visualizations.

Creating visually compelling and believable crowds, when budgets are shrinking and timescales are getting shorter, can be a challenge. It is not only important to represent the crowd behavior as a whole, but the appearance and motions of each individual must be believable. Developed and tested under real production conditions, Golaem Crowd allows to easily simulate complex and controllable characters in Autodesk Maya

IIn this tutorial, you will learn about baking light maps and compositing them for game environments. From this course, you will learn to generate light maps for any project's environment, or bake ambient occlusion into our geometry.

In this collection of lessons we will learn about prop animation. This course covers tools and techniques for animating props in Maya.

In this collection of lessons we will learn about a wide variety of useful techniques for rigging game characters.

In this Maya animation tutorial we will learn about the intuitive and fun animation tools of Maya. We'll learn everything from how to set up animation preferences and create key frames, to learning how animation can be modified from Maya's Timeline and Graph Editor.

In this Skill-Builder tutorial, we will talk about the process of interpreting different shapes and creating geometry in efficient ways.

This course, taught by Robert Harrington, will cover lighting, shading and multi-pass rendering in Maya and mental ray. We dabble in Nuke, finding out why its good for us lighters in a way that Photoshop isn't.

Description: In this series of lessons, we will explore some of the core rendering tools and features of Maya that every rendering artist needs to be familiar with.

In this course we will cover the process of creating a Walk Cycle in Maya.

In this Maya tutorial we will walk through creating a variety of challenging material types. These videos will walk through the essential tools for creating photorealistic materials. We'll start with establishing our shading toolkit through the various models of simulating real-world light interactions. Then we'll jump into a series of challenging material types, and develop the basic shading networks required to make them happen.

In this series of lessons, we will be exploring many of the ways that shading networks can be utilized within Maya.

In this tutorial we will learn how to take a medieval concept through Maya and ZBrush, and create a nice character render from it.
