For the glass's transparency, change the weight value for its transmission attribute. From its attributes, start from Presets: Glass preset for one ball, Chrome preset for another ball, and Rubber preset for one ball and tweak them. Shading: Apply AiStandardSurface to each ball. Modeling: Creating three spheres and one plane or box. # Practice: Three spheres and using HDRI or PhysicalSky Check to make a layer for the subdiv proxy. In Maya, OpenSubdiv is the default subdivision method when you preview a smoothed mesh, smooth a mesh using Mesh > Smooth, or create a subdiv proxy. As a professional standard in the animation industry, OpenSubdiv is implemented in a variety of software packages, improving interoperability by producing the same results when models are transferred between applications. OpenSubdiv is an open-source subdivision method developed by Pixar that lets you work with a high-fidelity representation of your model with great accuracy and speed. However, subdivision surfaces have the slowest performance of the three smoothing methods. Subdivision surfaces help you keep a lower polygon count because they only insert control points where you need them (instead of uniformly across the entire mesh). Other than these methods, to see a smooth version of a model, you can soften the normals too (Modeling // Mesh Display / Soften Edge).Ī subdivision surface lets you subdivide specific regions of a mesh, giving you the ability to finely tune or smooth certain areas without changing the entire mesh. Smooth a mesh by averaging the distance between vertices


A simple camera setting for camera animation. Or alternatively you can render **a sequence in Maya with the Render > Render Sequence command in the Render setting window** however you will not be able to use Maya while it is rendering. Note that if you want to use Arnold batch rendering without watermarks in Maya, you need to purchase an Arnold license. Batch rendering often occurs as a different thread or process, as if it were a different program running in the background, so Maya allows you to keep working while the batch is rendering. Using batch files, you can queue several rendering tasks at the same time, so that once one is finished, the next begins. A batch file is a set of commands given to the computer to do, one after another.
