Understanding Ai Mesh Light In Maya and Arnold Render - Tutorial

[@nielsbugge3777]

Incredible tutorial, as always. Whenever I watch your tutorials I always end up learning not only what I came for, but so much more in addition. Thank you

[@reimaginefx]

Thanks.

[@dreheart5854]

this was so helpful I was working on making buildings have neon lights emit from some parts attached to them to get a cyberpunk feel thank you so much.

[@reimaginefx]

Glad I could help!

Gracias por compartir conocimiento, a partir de la versión Maya 2022, arnold nos ofrece el efecto Lens que tanto pedíamos. Ya que físicamente este no es un efecto creado por partículas de polvo, es un efecto que se da desde la óptica. De todas maneras lo resolviste en buena forma con lo que arnold hasta la fecha nos ofrecía. Yo lo hacia en ps para no gastar muchos recursos.

[@reimaginefx]

Voy a hacer más videos sobre efectos de lentes en un futuro cercano, gracias por ver mis videos.

How do you turn off the light reflectivity, the light reflection is acting like a small light source

[@adilkhan-zi1tb]

Thnq this was very helpful to me

[@tilakrajgolari1577]

[@Reigns_Gamer]

Thanks a lot men explanation is fucking extraordinary keep up

[@apocalypse7224]

what can i do to reduce noise? (I did increase diffuse in Arnold settings, it is still showing noise)

[@shiv3375]

when i use mesh light on a object it changes it into like hard mode( when u press 1) how do i solve that ?

[@hanialadham4336]

Hey, thanks for the tutorial, but my mesh light looks very Jagged, how can i smooth the mesh light when it's visible like the sword you've rendered?

[@rahkriga]

Im having this same exact problem

[@rahkriga]

Maybe toggling Normalize in the Mesh Light attributes might help you.

[@reimaginefx]

please send me a photo of it with all the settings of mesh light on instagram.

[@schmoborama]

If your light is too bright ( or just the pixels in general ) it will be impossible to anti-alias. For example if you had a white edge at value of 1.0 on a black background, Antialiasing can smooth out the jaggedness by making the pixels grey ( 0.5 ) at the border between them ; a mix of white and black. That's how AA works. But now if your pixel value is 10.0, and you mix that with black, you get 5.0 ; and on our monitors, anything above 1.0 just looks like 1.0. So it's much too bright for AA to make a visible improvement. You could dim the light, put a fresnel effect on it to dim it at the edges, or what I like best is to add a glow in the comp, which is what happens on camera with bright objects anyway.

YOU SAVED MY FUKIN ASS BRO

[@yosofya]

hey, thanks for the great tut. can you help me hoe i can illuminate textured object. while maintaining that texture and control its glow. a perfect example would be a tv screen. how to make the screen looks like its glowing and emitting light and in the same time the picture/texture is still showing. thanks

[@reimaginefx]

Sure I'll make a tutorial on that.

[@yosofya]

@@reimaginefx Awesome. Can't wait

[@reimaginefx]

@@yosofya Hey, I've made a tutorial on your request of texture emission make sure to check that out.

[@yosofya]

Reimagine Fx much appreciate man thanks a looooot. I will look for it now. If you help me with the link i will be grateful. Thanks again

[@shalegaming3633]

the only problem that i have when i try to do this lights , is the noise part in my models, how can i get rid of the noises??

[@vie1418]

m 6 months late, but gonna say the answer is increasing volume samples

[@ww2-epicbattles]

I tried and my object turned grey. nothing else happens.

[@reimaginefx]

Increase the intensity or exposure of the mesh light.

[@mamtapatil1892]

we cannot dublicate mesh lights, can we?

[@SanjayKumar-yf9ew]

[@reimaginefx]

Yes i did.
