Introduction to Autodesk Maya 3D Graphics Part.3 Rendering
This is an introductory 3D graphics modeling course using the 3D modeling software Autodesk Maya. The course consists of four parts in total, and in this session, we will focus on learning Maya's rendering features.
(Continued from Autodesk Maya 3D Graphics Introduction Part 2.)
๐ Course Introduction
(Please note that instructor Q&A is not provided for this course.)
Autodesk Maya holds the status of being used as the industry-standard 3D modeling software in the fields of film, animation, and commercial advertising. It leads the industry particularly in the field of animation, and it also fully satisfies user demands in modeling, special effects, and rendering.
This course helps beginners starting 3D graphics for the first time to learn basic 3D graphic concepts from the perspective of using Maya.
PART 1: Rendering 1
In this course, we will explore the overall workflow of Maya rendering, focusing on Maya's default rendering system, the Arnold Renderer. We will first familiarize ourselves with the basic workflow and then go through the fundamental concepts and features used in lighting, shading, and rendering one by one. Afterward, to wrap up the entire process, we will perform a simple rendering and output task, learning the techniques for working with EXR output files containing Cryptomatte passes in Photoshop.

PART 2: Rendering 2
In this course, we will experiment with the lighting types of the Arnold Renderer and learn about the roles and functions of various nodes for the Hypershade. Along with the roles of Maya's default lights, we will experiment with IES file-based lights and the physically realistic Physical Sky. In particular, we will focus on the workflow of using Hypershade, Maya's default material editing system, and the specific roles and visual characteristics of utility nodes that assist in shading tasks, such as color operations, color correction, facing ratio, and curvature.
