Arvid Schneider is taking a new direction with his MtoA series. Initially the 100 series dealt with getting new Arnold users comfortable with the new rendering engine bundled with Maya 2017. The new 200 series will look at reproducing materials from reference. Arvid plans a new shader.material a week. This week, we get a corrosion shader. Watch as the first of the 200 series looks into recreating a corrosion shader working from reference of corroded metal. The shader will be completely procedural, meaning that there will be no maps that drive any attributes within the shader. Arvid creates the corrosion shader by using multiple shaders. Instead of using the Layer Shader in Maya, the Layered Texture node is used to run lines to a single shader that drive different values within the shading network.

Some Tips for a Quick Retopo in R3DS Wrap3

Need to create automatic animation for a particular thing? A Maya expression can do the trick. Anytime you need something more than a direct one to one connection, a Maya expression can make that easy. If you are just getting started with the expression syntax in Maya, there are a lot of great resources around for you to dive into. Patrick Woo, has been posting a few, helping new users get started and offering tips for more seasoned ones. Patrick Woo Ker Yang is a VFX Generalist TD at VHQ Media, and his latest post has a look into using a Maya expression that can drive multiple objects, in various ways. This can give you a simple rig where objects driven by a Maya expression can arrange themselves in interesting ways. Patrick’s set up has a slight offset in rotation and translation for every object, looking at the object’s values before it. So as the first cube moves along a designated axis, the spacing between the objects and the rotations react to that change. Simple, with some uses in real work!
