@@keltart809 a value of 0 (default value) means it will take the actual resolution of the texture. It will not modify it. Increasing the value by 1, means decreasing the texture resolution by half. So if by default the texture resolutions is 2048x2048, then value 1 will give resolution 1024x1024. Changing the value to 2 will again reduce the resolution by half to 512x512. Does that answer your question? Its not actually blurring, its downscaling the texture resolution. Maya does not have any option to blur.

@@control.animator if you are specifying particular exposure and intensity values, then I doubt it is bright enough to hit anywhere given the distance from the light to the object is more. You will have to increase the exposure to the required amount. Else you will have to move the light closer. But then the chances are bottom part will not get the light if the light is placed above the subject. In that case you will have to scale the light enough to cover the entire subject.

@@amitrana1051 Thank you. I will keep that in my list

Thank you for pointing out those things. Really appreciate it. Although I notice some work arounds may not be the way it should be when you want to create shader to mimic real world physics. I agree that Arnold do have caustics up to a degree but they themselves have admitted that since its a unidirectional path tracer render engine, caustics that gets created from small lights which creates the sharp focused light patterns are not possible in Arnold. You can check out the documentation here:- help.autodesk.com/view/ARNOL/ENU/?guid=arnold_for_maya_shading_am_Refractive_Caustics_using_an_Emissive_Shader_html Its really a limitation of the render engine. And they admit it. Also its not just corona render that can create accurate caustics, I have seen both in Vray and Renderman create the reflective and refractive caustics. Although I am not sure about Vray being physically accurate, Renderman is for sure is as its a bi-directional path tracer which can accurately mimic it. As for the transparency depth - it is given for the number of times the ray can pass through the transparent object and for accurate results, I don't think we should limit it to lower numbers. As in the real-world the transparent surfaces does not do this to the light rays, to get the accurate result, we should use the maximum number of bounces needed on the transparency and transmission depth values. They are only there to limit the render time if incase we needed to, not to limit the physical accuracy of the lighting and shading calculations. Also I would disagree on turning off the self shadows as its a hack to get more brighter caustics. That also is breaking the physicality. real-world objects won't do this. Thanks for the info on the opaque attribute. I haven't really noticed why the glass works even if the opaque is on. I have wondered about this before but I thought it might be some bug in my Arnold version. Thank you again!!

@Swatstuts I'm sorry but you are simply wrong with some of the things you've stated. Yes there are other render engines that have caustics, it doesn't mean they're all accurate. One of them that is for instance is Disnsey's in-house Hyperion renderer which I have had the pleasure of using. Vray is far from accurate, Renderman is impressive, true. I know Arnold is an omni-direcrional rendere and I know it struggles with caustics, I mentioned that in my comment. Turning self-shadows off is actually an important step, an object that is transparent is not going to cast a shadow onto itself. (On thin or flat sides) If you take a glass or bottle and render it, notice how the base of the glass on the inside will not have a reflection, turn shelf shadows off, it will. Again, turning your transparency depth up high removes all contact shadows and depth from the scene. I am a lecturer and I have a whole library to depict the difference in one of the lessons I created whilst studying Arnold extensively. The documentation actually states that you should only use high transparency depth when you have many transparent objects overlapping each other. (Best viewed when rendering vegetation) Transmission depth is also based on the complexity of your model. If it has 4 sides that are exposed to air, you need a minimum transmission depth of 4. And again, if you crank your transparency depth past even 1 on simple objects, you lose all shadows, it looks like your object is floating mid air AND exaggerates caustics to a hugely inaccurate level with no variation in darkness or colour based on the width or depth of your transparent object. (If the glass has a colour, this is exaggerated further) Case in point i.imgur.com/Q7BwZn4.jpeg Transparency depth of 2 i.imgur.com/kn9j3oQ.jpeg Transparency depth of 1 Notice the subtle shadows and variation

@@MCDesign199 Hey, this is interesting. I would like to get more theoretical info on the transparency depth attribute of the Arnold if possible. I tried what you have shared and also looked at the real reference. That makes a difference. Although I am not sure about the self shadow. Because the shader algorithm handles the surface properties and we shouldn't be altering the shape attributes for that. And the results I am getting with the self shadows off / on, I feel like keeping the self shadows on is the right choice. By the logic that any transmissive object won't cast shadow to his own surface, it shouldn't be casting any shadows to others surfaces as well. But since it casts shadows to the floor, some of that will be casted onto itself as well. It should make sense. And about the accuracy of the render engine, none of them says physically accurate. The more accurate word they use is physically plausible. Thanks for sharing this. Worth for a second part of the tutorial.

@@motivationpluzz3927 Thank you ♥️

@@XciteBot Thank you. And yes, I will try to upload more contents regarding shading nodes and photorealistic shading and lighting.

@@Marssen One of the drawbacks or area of improvement that I wanted in Maya is to have these kind of assets library. We have to get free models from outside if we want to work on some projects. There was a paint effects library which had a few trees and plants, I have seen that in earlier versions. I am not sure whether maya still has it. And when it comes to creating an output, it totally depends upon you. I don't believe that any software is dominating over other when it comes to creating any output. Ofcourse there will be minor limitations depending upon the render engine. For example, Arnold render doesn't support physically accurate caustics. But we can be creative and find work arounds for that. Other than that, its only the confidence and skill of the artist. Maya and arnold is one of the many software which is widely used in vfx and cg pipelines. It has the power to create amazing outputs. But if you are more comfortable and confident in C4D you can definitely continue on that. But I am sure, given it enough time to learn, you can have the same level of confidence in Maya and Arnold as well. The way is always to keep learning new things.

@@elinhulldin5926 its not only metals that have coloured speculars. Certain objects because of its materials protestors also exhibit this behaviour. One example would be iridescence.

@@Swatstuts Okay, I'm far from an expert on this. I'm really just trying to explain what gold looks like. All I learned about this was that if it's a metal I put it's colour in a variable and otherwise I put white there. We didn't learn to render iridescent objects.

@@elinhulldin5926 Cool. I just didn't want you to think that only metals have coloured reflections. That would be like close minded thinking. There exist a lot of other objects which have similar material properties which are also interesting. As artists, I believe we should always be open to the possibilities.

@@Swatstuts So would it be correct to say that MOST objects have white reflections? Are there other materials that reflect just like metals in a single color? I'd like to fix my original comment but I'm not sure how yet. I'm not an artist by the way. I'm an IT student. Maybe I should have specified the class was computer graphics for civil engineers. I really know very little about this so I'm grateful for your correction. (But I'm also a bit offended by the close minded part)

@@elinhulldin5926 sorry if that offended you. But now that you have said that you are from another field, I am not sure how to explain it to you. Sccientifically all the dielectric materials will have white reflection( or the color of the light) and metallic should have colored reflections. Also there are some elements which exhibits metallic specular properties. Iridescenece is a one of that example. Also silk clothes also have this specific property other than metal. So what I wanted to say was that it not a property which is exclusive to metal. But I don't have the vast knowledge to categorise all the materials either. I have enough to create it inside a 3d software. so it's limited. I hope you get the point.

@@ayush_panwar7575 ♥️

@@gratefulpixels928 ofcourse you can use masks for that. And masks and ramp works in uv space, so make sure you have proper uvs for the objects before proceeding. And denoiser is used to see faster iterations of the changes we make, without waiting for the final render. If you are already getting faster renders without denoiser, you can definitely disable it. Its always upto us whether to use it or not use it.
