This course is targeted at anyone who may already be familiar with rendering and lighting but who wants to move over to Arnold; or just wants to know how Arnold can help in production.
Taught by Ulf Lundgren, the goal of the course is to get you up to speed in Arnold and help you understand the differences when using Arnold compared to other Render engines. Prior experiences of rendering and lighting is a plus but not necessary since this course should still help you get on your way to amazing renders.
class syllabus
Class 1: A brief history of Arnold and how it integrates into a production workflow and the good vs bad when comparing Arnold with other renderers.
Class 2: How to setup and render with a linear workflow using color managment in Arnold, followed by and an in depth look at all the types of lights Arnold has to offer.
Class 3: An in depth look at shading with Arnold and how to use the different types of shaders in production.
Class 4: An in depth look at render effects and settings and learn how to export ASS files to do batch rendering of sequences using kick.
Class 5: Lighting and shading of a troll. Should give you a good hands on knowledge of how to use Arnold shaders.
Class 6: Second part of the troll shading class. Rounding up and rendering.
Class 7: Workflow suggestions, camera lens shaders and explanation sample.
Class 8: Cellphone packshot rendering!
Class 9: A case study of how to do lighting and shading for live action integration. Part 2. Rendering with AOV?s and how to best use them in compositing.
Class 10: Class 10 deals with integrating 3D into live action backplates. A tracked scene is provided both for Softimage (as is preferred) as well as for Maya. This class should teach you everything needed to start adding your 3D to live action.

Best of The Best! Thanks so much!
Best release regarding tutorials for Softimage this year! Thanks a bunch!
thank you , this one gonna help me^^
This is full of great and useful information, but this guy doesn’t seem to have planned this course out very well. It’s not really much of an introduction, more like an intermediate course. he spends very little time actually explaining anything in any detail and you just learn from watching.
It’s still really good and I appreciate it, but if you’re expecting a beginner’s course, this isn’t it.
Warning: Be sure to scan all the downloaded files with your Antivirus and if there is an executable or installer file, make sure to have your antivirus active and open in the background while installing or running the app. Some of the materials posted here are downloaded from CGPeers, So they could potentially have something injected in them.
We always ask bloggers to scan all the files before publishing the posts, but sometimes it's hard to detect all these things, so if you found anything suspicious (Not false positive, Generic, Patcher, Riskware and Heuristic results, most patches could get false flags like that by some Antivirus companies.) be sure to post comments with the file name and a VirusTotal report result link or the file MD5 Hash (higher than 30% overall positive result). Thank you.
