Must-Know Arnold Features for Rendering Pros

[@xyzzzz6984]

These are some very good tips, applicable to 3dsMax, too.

what are the advantages of using openPBR? why do i use it instead of aiStandardSurface?

[@brokenfix]

I think that since it's based on MaterialX, other renderers might add support for it in future updates. Why don't you just use plain MaterialX instead? That's a good question

@@brokenfix Thanks for the information. I currently use maya's node editor I dont know much about material X. Should i start using it? What is the best way to learn it and do i have to learn something else with it like usd things.

@@antiquegamer5027 Here is a great example of MaterialX working fine on both Arnold and Vray kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpCnaWCjgNernLs. Many other renderers should work fine out of the box, too

Always the more the better !

In a studio 128gb RAM and a 16cores CPU is minimal I would say. But for a hobbyist 32gb ram and a 8core ryzen7 is more than enough.
