"I've been waiting for this moment all my life, alone, alone" Thanks Monica.

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

Lol! Thank you William! Glad you liked it! :)

[@technobrain1461]

@@AcademicPhoenixPlus Of course. I have a car to render too. But I can use this same technic included the one you did with curvature to create good material for my project. Thanks.

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

That's awesome! It's exciting to hear that you are combing knowledge together to produce your own results. Fantastic!

[@bodyslamapparel]

Finally found a professional recorded tutorial where you know what you're talking about. This should be on Pluralsight. Thank you so much for this video. If I may add, I noticed you were having a hard time selecting your geometry for the car body. Before creating the tutorial, I'd recommend placing all specific car body objects into a group or in a layer set. Also, tapping "Q" on the keyboard would help you select objects easily. Cheers.

Monica there few people who explain good and you are one of them.

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

Thanks Manohar! I really appreciate your comment and support!

[@stephentranter2528]

Much better than the other tutorials I've been looking at :D

[@cpsstudios]

Thanks for this video... I hadn't updated Arnold for Maya 2018 so I didn't know I didn't have the car paint shader... you rock!!

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

Awesome! Glad you found it, Christopher. :) Your cars are going to look awesome from now on!

[@cpsstudios]

@@AcademicPhoenixPlus Thanks to you!

[@yushin7391]

You must check thin walled in geometry menu for the glass shader to avoid the warp

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

Great tip! Thank you for mentioning it!

[@yushin7391]

@@AcademicPhoenixPlus You're welcome ! 😊 Keep it up your videos are great !

[@MauroSanna]

Actually the best way is to give thickness in real measures to the glasses (extrude). Golden rule: everything has to be in real scale.

@@AcademicPhoenixPlus I just applied a coat and upped the IOR of that attribute. But I like the original poster's solution.

You helped me alot thank you so much. ❤❤❤

[@amerhuss6583]

love your channel learned a lot here, would really like to see how to make the front lights on :), oh, small tip in Arnold render setting i always uncheck auto-detect threads and keep 2 threads for smooth navigation while IPR rendering

[@VektorHaus]

Wondering if you ever uploaded the model for this? I would love to use it with your permission of course.

[@abeerbiswascreativeworks]

I am also learning maya

[@Montcgi]

thanks

[@venomous]

Excellent tutorial and can I ask how exactly is your viewport rendering in real time? There must be a setting i'm missing here

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

Thank you for your comment, venomous. Love the cat profile pic! The real time render comes with arnold. Go to Arnold (top right menu) and select Render. It should open a window that shows real time rendering. Press the stop button to stop the render, and play when you are ready to render again. Hope this helps!

[@venomous]

@@AcademicPhoenixPlus Awesome! Thank you very much!

[@Orangeduck]

nice tutorial :)

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

Thank you Peter. I appreciate it!

[@alicesmith8134]

Could we get a download for the car so we can follow along please? :) Looks amazing

[@k-vandan]

gumroad.com/l/1920Vehicle you can download a model from here

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

That's a good idea Alice, but I have to clean it up first. It's a bit of a mess!

[@MrPeterheather]

I have one question. Im modelling a steam locomotive. Do you think that the same car paint shader will be useful for the body of the locomotive? Or maybe it should be more metallic?

[@suyogpadwal5160]

In maya 2018 i am using car paint texture to my lamborgini car that is not giving mee a realstic texture so how can i make a realstic texture by using car paint in maya ......

blue prints ?

[@jing.y3399]

There was something wrong on me...When I assign new material and click arnold,I didn't find aiCarPaint.I used maya2018 students version.Isn't aiCarPaint is only available on maya2019?Or something problems?...(Thanks,if someone answer my question XD)

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

Nothing wrong! I am using Maya 2019. Try going into the Arnold Solid Angle website and download the most recent update. (maya doesn't do it automatically). I believe it will work for Maya 2018 :)

[@jing.y3399]

@@AcademicPhoenixPlus OK, thanks!XD

[@javed3d]

can some body tell me ? how she is viewing real time render of car??

[@925_nomad]

Can you tip me how to do the reflectors of the lights? :)

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

What I did was just add a texture of a light from a real car, that way it faked it. I hope that helps!

[@925_nomad]

@@AcademicPhoenixPlus neat trick captain! 😋😋 will do that!

[@mfm9489]

how to update arnold ?

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

You'll need to either update Maya, or go to the Solid Angle website and update the render itself. hope that helps! www.arnoldrenderer.com/
