I have watch like 7 different videos on this, but your was the best video! It included all the little detail and functions that could tribute to some disturbing light or rendering issues. Thank you so much!! Keep up the good work

Thank you for an awesome video. Please keep it up. I've been a long time Mentalray user and only recently moving to Arnold. Your videos helps a lot in my transition.

Great video for introducing the basics of Arnold lighting (I'm new to). But just a little advice, try to bring your mic further away from your mouth to lessen the sounds of lip-smacking and swallowing. This made the video a little uncomfortable listening to headphones. But other than that, great tutorial!

Is Arnold as good as Vray?

[@kenzorman]

I used VRay for a long time. IMO Arnold is more realistic , and the PBR workflow is better calibrated. Arnold AOVs in MAX are not quite as good as VRay. Arnold is looks amazing with HDRI environment maps, which is why its the goto renderer for movies.
