MtoA 115 | Realistic Eyes | using Arnold with Maya 2017 

I think it was 1.4.0 and alShaders rc17

Thanks for info. I've now updated shaders to latest version so I now have the mask option!

Al shaders are deprecated in Maya 2018 as a good chunk of their functionality has been introduced into the ai standard surface as of Arnold 5. You can still follow along with Arvid's tutorial you just have to think outside of the box a bit to achieve the same math results he is when he is manipulating the textures. As far as the ramp connections, the one controlling the diffuse contribution where he blacks out the center goes into base which is the base weight, the inverted one controlling transmission in the cornea center would go into transmission (transmission weight). All of the remap functions can be recreated with either aiRange nodes or aiColorCorrects. Hope this helps.

Matt xypnise Arnold does not support caustics like Vray does because of different algorithms in the core. So you only have the option to increase samples as crazy. Or a different render. Soon arnold5 will be released hopefully with new features

Your face normal could be reversed, check if double sided is ticked on

She must be hidden somewhere inside the shape node.

@@arvidurs lol, good one

1, 2, 3, 4 are the hotkeys.

do you have any idea why in the arnold render view the cornea, the seams are really noticable and they go from black to white. thanks for your help!

All 100 series work with arnold 4 and alShaders. All 500 series work with arnold 5 and the new shader.

Means there is no use of watching 100 series if i want to learn arnold 5

I wouldnt say that. The same principles apply. if you understand what I am doing in the 100 series you should be easily able to apply the knowledge for a5. Its not that big of a difference.

Arvid Schneider k thanks sir because i saw many of ur al surface tutorial but it isn't working on latest arnold so i have learn arnold 5 which became bit confusing but now i will learn A 5 and then try to apply the 100 series on it Btw great piece of tutorial u are uploding Can u make a tutorial on how to apply pbr maps which can be free to download from polligon.com Just need one tutorial on it plz it will help me a lot as a biginer

Arvid Schneider and also please do make an Android app like u have for ios

Sure

Allan Taylor Arnold converts them automatically to tx. Or it should.

aiRange

Arvid Schneider when I try to connect ai range in weight of base color, the connection editor shows up on screen

Make sure you are connecting the right channel and not the Alpha channel too the weight. Also depending on the I've make sure the ramp fits properly

I'm very new with the arnold Could you please do a quick example screenshot the connection with the AiStandarSurface? that very helpful for me Thanks

ah ok thank you, I went to the link and was looking for a file with a name like "eye_something..." at the bottom of page. So I am uploading the files. thanks !

@@arvidurs link doesn't work. 404 error =(

Yannik W. will do

***** thanks a lot!

yes try aiRange instead. it takes float and rgb

@@arvidurs yes, but it doesn't have mask

​@@teganyu7530 If you are referring to the portion where Arvid corrects the bump map you can use an aiColorCorrect. It contains a mask option, just change the multiply to 0 and then directly below it change the add to 0.5, if the mask is setup properly it will give you the 0.5 bump value result where the cornea is transparent. Hopefully that helps

@@ryancummins8543 thank you a lot

Charlotte Wilkinson aiRange should do it

@@arvidurs hello, what do I change in airange though and what do I connect to transmission? No matter what I don't get transmission but black in the front...

thank god ur here!

;)

its the same principles

ok . Thanks man
