By increasing the value in angle we can create shadow without sharp edges, but that also results in a lot of noise. Under Arnold in the setting, there is Angle which softens the shadow. We can adjust or change the shadow’s colour under shadow > shadow colour. These settings are not typically used as we would stick to Arnold. The other two settings Emit Diffuse and Emit Specular are only effective in Maya Renderer.
In the screenshot above we can see, only the sphere is selected, hence the sphere is the only thing illuminated by the light source. If we switch off Illuminate by Default, only objects selected in the Illuminated Objects (relationship editor) will be selected. This is because Illuminate by Default is turned on in the Directional Light Attributes setting – which means by default, everything is affected by the light.
If we go to Rendering mode > Lighting/Shading > Light Linking Editor > Light Centric, we will see everything in the directionalLight we set up is highlighted.
Light – Common Attributes Everything selected in illuminated objects means everything is visible in the render view Thanks to the 3D creation pipeline module from last term, I have the basic knowledge of how lighting works in Maya, which makes this part pretty straight forward. This week we moved away from Nuke and focused on lighting in Maya. You might wonder where is week 6? With the crisis in Ukraine going on and distressing news continue daily, I felt the need to take things slowly last week work wise. You can just keep Visible in Diffuse Reflection checked.īy unchecking Visible in Specular Reflection, the chrome materials reflect the sky again.Hello and it is week 7. Under Render Stats, uncheck everything that refers to Specular. Click on the little triangle next to Background (Legacy) to open the aiSky attributes window. So instead, go to Render Settings –> Arnold Renderer tab –> Environment accordion –> Background (Legacy) –> Create Sky Shader:Īt first, this really saturates the scene white, and specular objects no longer reflect the sky: But this will cause objects in the scene to reflect a greyscale sky. You might think that one way to hack this is to greyscale the blue sky and brighten it right up like below. (I suppose the sky image being quite dark isn’t helping neither.) This is because the diffuse is reflecting the blue sky. Even though the skydome image is one of day time, the render looks like it’s night time.
