Tool Kit 2: Fog & Atmosphere

In this tutorial we went through the 2 different was of creating fog in Maya. the first being aiFog and the second being aiAtmospherevolume. These create different effects and work differently. The first i used was aiFog a seemingly simpler system then the second after finishing the tutorial. Having few controls mainly, distance, height and colour these have limited uses however can still be used to create good effects.

The second way aiAtmospherevolume seems like a more sophisticated way of controlling the visual look of fog in your scene, having control of how strong the fog is, have much it darkens the scene as well as how lights in your scene appear through the fog. These give you huge control of the scene before the need to composite in a different piece of software.

Major Creature 4 Texturing

Major Creature 4 Texturing The texturing process is one I enjoy and feel confident in because of this I was able to sit through the process in a few days and generate the outcome. I came back to these textures a few days later to darken the textures over all once I saw then in Arnold. I also increased the level of dirt in the textures as they looked to clean.

Tool Kit 2: Physical Sky

Tool Kit 2: Physical Sky In this tutorial I learnt about the physical sky in Arnold and how it can be used to easily mimic time of day when rendering exterior shots for animations. Using a variation of elevation, Turbidity, intensity and Azimuth you can create the different angles of sky light you would see in real life. Other settings that can be used to push a stylistic approach include sun tint, sky tint and sun size. These can be used to create strange effects that are stylised and aren't meant to look photo real. Day1. Mid Day. Morning/Evening. Foggy Day. Stylised Lighting.
