[@shadowcasterstudios4042]

me too brother

[@ProfessionalReferences]

finally! this is the only video I found that explains the material attributes in depth... thank u

[@arvidurs]

A more updated version will come soon

[@daanthijssen1748]

Nice to meet you brother! Thanks for all the tutorials and insights you have given us :)

[@chinmaythorat]

Just because of you LookDev became easy to learn....Sincerely Thank You :)

[@monocore]

Arvid, you helped me so much. It is unbelievable how rich and full of quality your videos are. Especially compared to mediocre and paid ones. Thank you so much.

[@arvidurs]

Sergio Lugo thanks!! Really appreciate the kind words :)

[@BulletWhizza]

I use Arnold for Cinema 4D but your tutorials have really helped me understand materials and shading. I'm still learning but I'm glad I found your channel!

[@arvidurs]

Glad you found it too! Thanks for sharing :)

[@gloriarincon8465]

Wow, you explained this so well. I learned a lot from you. Thank you!

[@shadowcasterstudios4042]

man this is an amazing lesson, i had no clue you could do all these textures without substance

[@crecrescio]

amazing and detailed video mate!

[@chrisjohnstone6164]

Very clear and a fantastic Tutorial --- thanks!!

[@arvidurs]

You're very welcome!

[@AlwaysDrawing2012]

Such a great tutorial! Thanks, Arvid!

[@fipzee]

Very nice overview of the shaders. thanks!

[@MehdiDaoud]

great introduction, simple and clear ! many thanks for this tutorial

[@rakeshvarma2850]

amazing tutorial, thanks a lot

[@neatigloo]

Thank you so much for this video:) very informative!

[@minimalfun]

Thank you very much Arvid, your tutorials are always awesome! So great!

[@Strolox]

I love your Houdini tutorials and hope that you can post some more of those in the future :)

[@arvidurs]

Yes! I am learning more and more about Houdini every day. So I just need to feel comfortable before I can make a good tutorial about it. But it’s totally the plan

[@Strolox]

@@arvidurs Thank you for the answer :)

[@chelseacollins564]

Loved this video so much! If you made a video talking through the arnold render settings tab (camera AA, diffuse, specular, etc) I would find that so valuable! When it comes to noise in the scene I really have no idea where to start in terms of fixing the problem. Honestly I don't have a good grasp of how to use those settings full stop.

[@arvidurs]

Chelsea Collins I have one video on render optimizations already. But I could do a refresher :)

[@nutellaj1778]

hey, Arvid! Thanks for the great lesson! Can you tell how do you create this another panel with reference images inside of the Arnold Render View?

[@abhishekshinde9203]

Really helpful video i learned a lot Thanks for this video

[@losimple]

As always Arvid, YOU ARE THE BESSSSTTTTTTT !!!!!

[@renderbricks]

Everything is Arvid! ;-)

[@Redballoon_Cartoons]

THIS IS A FABULOUS TUTORIAL - Thanks. as an animator it's great to learn to light and shade and texture and render a scene. I'll go check, but if you don't could you do something on your lighting let up in maya and Arnold. Thanks GREAT WORK

[@manojlogulic4234]

Hello Arvid, great info as always. Thanks. Do you habe video where you explain each node in Arnold engine maybe?

[@sergyxyz]

Hey Arvid! May I ask you how to place some reference files in the same way you do on the Arnold Render View? I like the idea of having the images staying on the window regardless anything I'd click.

[@maxreber]

anyone know why only aiStandardSurface is the only standard surface showing up for me? Do i need to update Maya? I dont see the bolded standardSurface like he shows here

[@ababiya_worku]

great to finally see your face!:)

[@aliengalaxy6096]

Hello, do you know how can I lock the render camera in Arnold Maya?

[@nimrod7785]

Hey Arvid, big thanks for the tutorial, your content is really great. Could you please make the text (PPI) larger? I am watching from my 12.9 inch iPad and the text is unreadable.

[@TheAhmedAdel]

hey hey hey hey you are awesome not just for the information but also for the way you made me very sad when the video finished god blessed you chapeau, 👏👏👏

[@arvidurs]

Sorry to hear that

[@TheAhmedAdel]

@@arvidurs 😂

[@eobiri]

Thanks for all you do!

[@claytomcs]

in the new version of arnold the specular weight is .2 , should i use like that or go 1.0 ?

[@arvidurs]

Yeah I find those defaults very peculiar. Should be 1

[@claytomcs]

@@arvidurs thanks for replying =)

[@mordecai1484]

Vert nice tutorial. I can't add this video to a playlist.

[@ScribbleSG]

Hi, I just started using maya in conjunction with Arnold for archiviz. I was wondering how I would save my materials, so I wouldn’t have to create a new one for every scene .

[@arvidurs]

Hi! You can just export them either as a maya file. Or if you don't use Maya - You can use Arnold Material export option

[@ScribbleSG]

Arvid Schneider thank you so much

[@losimple]

Hey Arvid, a question: what kind of skills have to have a guy to be a look development artist? They have to know thinks like programming, write shaders, ligthing? I don't know !. What do you think?

[@arvidurs]

Typically it’s important to have a good eye for detail, always trying to improve, observation, lighting helps too. But you don’t need to be able to write your own shaders. And no programming either. All of that helps, but it’s not necessary

[@losimple]

Thank you so much men !

[@sandikhumalo6657]

whats the art referencing app you use?

[@bowiebowie8610]

wow thank you i have learned a lot

[@ragulsundaramoorthy1988]

Where can I get Scene Files for this ?

[@jordipau]

the best!

[@maxim_gehricke]

Awesome video, learned soo much! A few questions tho: what is that window you are using to look at the reference images? And how do you get the Arnold Render View to be so fast?

[@arvidurs]

The window is called pureref. For the ipr the trick is to have low settings for faster feedback - that’s how

[@maxim_gehricke]

@@arvidurs ah I know pureref. Didn't know you can integrate it into Maya like that. Thank you very much for the answer and for the nice video!

[@arvidurs]

Maxim Gehricke I just placed it very accurately 😇

[@maxim_gehricke]

@@arvidurs ahh I see😅 perfection.

[@liuning6421]

how to get maya lightshader plugin

[@elhamsaberiamiri6270]

Please some one tell me with which of maya he works?

[@scarsenix]

Hello Arvid! I'm sooo so thankful you made this tutorial! And I wanted to ask how did you make that reference tab? I'm really lookin forward to all of your future tutorials, thank you! :D

[@arvidurs]

It’s an overlay of a different app - pureref

[@ritikX1999]

how u add those ref. images in renderview

[@sebastienmondan8948]

I think it is PureRef :)

[@minuscolochao1557]

thank you for this tutorial. I have been waiting this for sometime. Please also make a video about shader for atmospheric dust cloud or moisture and separate them in AOVs :)

[@arvidurs]

Glad you like it! Do you have some reference for what you want a tutorial for

[@minuscolochao1557]

@@arvidurs Hey Arvid I found this reference render od openvdb cloud and atmospheric depth in distance using cinema4d and octane mega.nz/#!FKZHTaaD!KsMKshgXKsQoQbnnBd3uU3B3cPokHOUFMPRZ1TlZYyY I'd like to ask you do a tutorial about the shaders involved and render settings needed if doing this scene with the new maya arnold

[@rg3dart778]

Thanks sir

[@SlobboVideo]

Thanks man, is the scene file also available in fbx format?

[@arvidurs]

I can export that for you

[@jeancarlosespinozasaldana2552]

Hey Arvid, hi, please can you make a video explaining the components of your pc, or maybe a list, for the people who wanna do shading with that render time... you are awesome, man..

[@arvidurs]

My rig is super beefy which is a production machine. So not really fair. I’ll think about it! Thanks for the feedback

[@IGarrettI]

Wish you did renderman tutorials as well

[@KoganeNoYubi]

I love the stream, though ai_shaders sometimes makes things too tough. I couldn't find a way to make proper diamond shader with not crazy light dispersion with this shader, tried for days. In v-ray its dead easy

[@arvidurs]

hm it shouldn't be too difficult. But if you want to see caustics, it's definitely not the best for that.

[@KoganeNoYubi]

@@arvidurs its less about caustics than about dispersion abe. ai_shader with the proper diamond settings refracts crazy amount of colours. a "normal" diamond doesn't have so many colours going. so being a physical correct shader I wonder why that doesn't go well.

[@BulletWhizza]

@@KoganeNoYubi Have you played around with the Dispersion Abbe settings? Usually a value above 4 reduces excessive color dispersion but gives you a decent amount of colour splitting

[@VladTofan]

Hey Arvid can you pls make a tutorial about this Arnold feature ? "Import shader networks: This allows users to import their .ass or .axf shading networks as a Maya shading graph. " i think will be useful to know how to share shaders between maya sessions. Amazing tutorials btw. thank you !!!

[@arvidurs]

Yeah totally! I will keep that in mind. It’s actually very straight forward :) but a good idea

[@VladTofan]

@@arvidursCool. THX !

[@Ankitmishra12jan]

A biiiigggg Thanks dear....

🥰

[@txyzlux1137]

😍🤩

[@ThiiagoMartins]

you could make some more complex videos just using Maya and Arnold :D

[@nishantverma5975]

It was a great tutorial, maybe you could tell something more about anisotropy...

[@HitecProductions]

More face to face. yes please.It makes you feel much more human.

[@arvidurs]

Hitec Productions will do
