Description

Autodesk Maya 2017 now comes with the industry standard Arnold renderer. Arnold is used by many visual effects and animations studios to produce stunning imagery for films and TV. 

3 reasons learn this powerful renderer:

  1. Make yourself more attractive to potential employers.
  2. Take your work to the next level of realism.
  3. Easier to learn than nearly all other renderers.

This course is designed for anyone who wants to learn to use Arnold to create great images from beginner level. You will learn to light and shade a scene from start to finish, covering fundamentals along the way. This course will take you through a practical project rather than going over endless settings with a sphere. 

You must use Maya 2017 or above and be familiar with the basics of Maya including selecting objects, navigating the viewport and basic rendering. If you are new to Maya I would recommend completing my Learn Maya - A Beginners guide to Creating Realistic Scenes course.
