In this course we will learn how to use a variety of lighting and shading tools in mental ray to simulate

the appearance of realistic liquid materials.

In this series of lessons, we will guide you through the process of using mental ray to realistically render

RealFlow geometry within Maya. We will begin this process by learning how to import your mesh sequences from

RealFlow into Maya and placing primary illumination sources. From there we will use the mental ray Architectural

Materials to create realistic, refractive liquid, and discuss some very important settings to be aware of

when using these shaders. Finally, we will create refractive caustic patterns that can add a high level of

realism to the final render. Getting the proper look for your final renders will require a lot of troubleshooting

and adjustments of many different attributes. Through these lessons, we will address many of these common problems

that you will run into and how they can be resolved, allowing you to achieve the desired result in a much sorter

amount of time.

Creating Normal Maps

This tutorial covers an introduction to the ZBrush plugin ZMapper for use in creating normal maps for next-gen game engines. ZMapper is an extremely versatile plugin that allows the artist to create normal and cavity maps from their high resolution ZTool sculpts. The power of ZMapper comes from the fact that all the options are open to the artist when generating maps – which also creates many options in the interface. This video breaks down the interface into simple to understand options and covers the settings you will need to successfully generate high quality normal maps in ZBrush.
