Maya Tutorial - Depth of Field Exercise

We rendered a scene using the depth of field settings in the Arnold tab on Maya, we then added a filter over the top to make a vignette using a ramp shader. Because of the way this came out I thought it would be fun to take it into Photoshop, give it a sepia filter and make it look like a scene from an old Noir movie.

Maya - Shading and Lighting Tests,

Today we were doing some tests with Arnold shaders and material settings, we used three shaders today: The Wire-Frame Shader, The Ambient Occlusion Shader, and the Skin Shader with textures and assets from EAT3D

Maya - Arnold Test Renders

We were testing out some lighting settings in Arnold yesterday in class, I went to remake the scene at home but found this weird powdery effect from the lights, almost like you can see glitter around the image.

Overall though one I have it all figured out I feel that Arnold will be a very Powerful tool.

Didn't get a chance to texture him but I was able to texture the UV of my adaption model which you can see here (for ease of mind)

Maya Update

I'm currently in the process of labeling every post on my blog, for ease of access, hopefully it will be done today, I am also rendering my last completed Maya tutorials which are the Lighting and Texturing ones, which due to my crippled PC are taking their good time rendering, they will also be up later today.

Maya Tutorial - Alley Way
