Observational Drawings Week 5

Last week I used Willow Charcoal, which I found more useful to become more fluid.

    Hi Adam.. I want to ask you a question about rendering in Maya.. I need to know how can I render a scene in flat color like what you did in that post: http://thevistor.blogspot.com/2011/05/maya-render-layers-1-basic.html
    Thanks in advance

      Rendering Flat Colour Pass

      1.select all in scene except lights
      2. Create ambient light and go in it's settings, and put Ambient shade to 0
      3. Render Settings - maya software - Raytracing quality - right click 'Raytracing' and select Create Layer Override and untick

      Here is a link to a video if this is unclear, watch it about 2 - 3 minutes in should show you this hope it helps

      then scroll down to 'Render Layers: Part 2 (Advanced Software Passes)'

      thanks very much Adam.. I really appreciate your help.. I add to this that my search led me to discover that you can achieve the same result using Render Settings- mental ray and choosing the diffuse material color pass

      the only difference is that rendering using mental ray results in a little bit darker image

      the blog is private :D so um trying to figure out a way to send the author an email to invite me :)

      I have another questions.. do you use the mental ray render for the other passes such as ambient occlusion or do you do that using the maya software

      thanks very much

      Not a problem and which blog are you using because I saw that you have four altogether but couldn't figure out which one you were using more often

      In regards to your other question you should be able to do most render passes in either mental ray or software as far as I am aware

      but if you are doing something like effects e.g. particles, etc then you will have to override this as mental ray :)
