How to Use the Area Light in Arnold for Maya

[@williamcollis455]

You should honestly become a teacher. This video was very clear and straight to the point which is more than I can say for the tutorials given by my teachers at University.

[@ave1996]

I love when you say « oups » lol. Great tutorial thanks

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

Hi Michael, usually I edit those out, but I thought making mistakes is common... so why not show that it's ok to make mistakes while you create art!Thank you for your support. :)

[@edmatrariel]

Right what i wanted to know. So simple and fast. Thank you very much. Now its time to sub and watch your other videos :) Btw, is it possible to make transparent cloth like curtains in arnold? I tried to make this via transmission (In aiStandardSurface) but it looked more like the glass, not the cloth. Sorry if there is already a video about it. If there is, i’ll find it myself

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

Hi Slav, thank you for your comment! I appreciate the sub! You want to use Opacity which is found under geometry in the shader. I go over it here! Hope that helps. :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/baHCnGdnfZiGqsk

Academic Phoenix Plus that helped A LOT. And thank you A LOT. I started to learn maya half a year ago and there are still so many undiscovered things for me there and i am happy that there are people like you, who are trying to help and share their priceless knowledge.

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

Trust me, I've been using Maya for years and it feels that I only scratched the surface. it's fun, because it's a never ending learning process. :)

Hi, for some reason, the area light no longer works while using arnold skydome. i'm using maya 2018 and i've never encountered this problem before. Could you please help?

[@educationreviews5018]

At 10:54 when you turned of and on the "Illuminates By Default" you lost your shadows. Just saying.

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

You are right. Once you refresh the Arnold window (Close/open it up again), it will bring the shadows back. :)

[@vaishaliparmar6064]

thank you so much ..its really helpful...the most confusing thing for me is render setting..it would be great help if you could explain render setting in detail.. thank you

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

Sure thing! I already have a video on it. I hope this helps! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpnXkHqma7Vsers

[@oliviergiguere9894]

Great tutorial! Only thing is that I don't know how to apply that checker texture on the plane.

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

Thank you for the message Olivier! It's a regular textures from Maya. I used the Checker texture and changes the colors to light and dark grey. All procedural! :)

[@rahulkumar-HyperMATE1999]
