Testing the Arnold materials from last weeks class to try and make some translucent plant pods that has some organic entity moving about inside. The shaders can do the job pretty well, though spheres have just been used at the moment for testing. However, I'm having problems with the shot cam, as its not rendering the composition I have chosen, and the DOF is just not working at all, Have tried all different distance settings and aperture, but no cigar.
Don't forget that not everything is done in Maya. Compositing is important too. What else can you add via After Effects. The camera is common problem and requires you to either 'flush' the caches, close the Arnold Render and re-open with the relevant camera selected. Also make you don't have isolate selected activated in the Arnold Render veiw.
ReplyDeleteI was testing what you showed in the class tutorials, I did ask about the DOF in the class, and if it was just a fancy and should be done other ways.
