Using clear and easy to follow instructions this book will guide you through learning all the major features of Maya. The text is complemented by video instruction. Each chapter has a corresponding video tutorial that introduces you to the topics and allows you to watch and learn how functions are performed in a way that a text alone cannot do.
Autodesk Maya Basics Guide makes no assumptions about your previous experience with Autodesk Maya. It begins by helping you get comfortable with the user interface and navigating scenes before moving into modeling, texturing, lighting, animating, rendering and more. Additionally, more advanced features such as character rigging, skinning, animating with dynamics and MEL scripting are also introduced.
Each chapter begins by examining the concept behind each task, the goal and the necessary features that are involved. Then you go in-depth with the objective of your task as you study examples and learn the steps necessary to complete it. Working your way through the comprehensive, step-by-step lessons, you'll develop the confidence you need to create incredible renderings and animations using Autodesk Maya.
Who this book is for This text was created specifically for users with no prior 3D modeling or animation experience. If you want to work in a creative field or are just curious about how 3D animated movies are made this book is the perfect way to get started.
Increase theMetalness to around 1 and change the Base Color to a mid-grey color and reduce the Specular Weight to 0. The Specular Roughness controls the glossiness of the specular reflections.
The lower the value, the sharper the reflection. Increase it to around 0. Camera Depth of Field We can use Maya's native camera to render the scene using depth of field. Select the render camera and open its Arnold attributes in the attribute editor. Click on 'Enable DOF'. You won't notice any difference in the render unless you increase the 'Aperture Size'.
However, you will need to focus the camera on something first. This will show you the distance from the camera that the head model is. Type this value into the 'Focus Distance' attribute. Now when you increase the 'Aperture Size' you should see that the robot's head is in the camera focus. Try a low value, such 0. Rendering Rendering the scene using the default Camera AA setting of 3 is good enough for test renderings. However, for a final render, you will need to increase this to at least 5 or more depending on the amount of depth of field you have set in the scene.
There may be some noticeable specular noise on the surface of the robot due to poor sampling of the indirect specular component of the robot's shader.
Increasing the global Specular value to 2 or 3 helps resolve this noise and to create a cleaner looking render. Tutorial files zipped PDF file. Free Technical Support For free technical support, please email to.
