Maya中Arnold渲染全面技术训练视频教程

Arnold渲染器是基于物理算法的电影级别渲染引擎，目前由Solid Angle SL 开发。正在被越来越多的好莱坞电影公司以及工作室作为首席渲染器使用。Arnold 是一款高级的、跨平台的渲染 API。与传统用于 CG 动画的 scanline（扫描线）渲染器（Renderman）不同，Arnold 是照片真实、基于物理的光线追踪渲染器。Arnold 使用前沿的算法，充分利用包括内存、磁盘空间、多核心、多线程、SSE 等在内的硬件资源。Arnold 的设计构架能很容易地融入现有的制作流程。它建立在可插接的节点系统之上，用户可以通过编写新的 shader、摄像机、滤镜、输出节点、程序化模型、光线类型以及用户定义的的几何数据来扩展和定制系统。Arnold 构架的目标就是为动画及 VFX 渲染提供完整的解决方案。
Arnold涉及制作的电影有：《地心引力》（Sony电影），《魔境仙踪》，《饥饿游戏》，《复仇者联盟》（工业光魔），《碟中谍4》（工业光魔），《X战警》，《爱丽丝梦游仙境》（Sony电影），《源代码》，《雷神》等。

Autodesk Maya是美国Autodesk公司出品的世界顶级的三维动画软件，应用对象是专业的影视广告，角色动画，电影特技等。Maya功能完善，工作灵活，易学易用，制作效率极高，渲染真实感极强，是电影级别的高端制作软件。Maya声名显赫，是制作者梦寐以求的制作工具，掌握了Maya，会极大的提高制作效率和品质，调节出仿真的角色动画，渲染出电影一般的真实效果，向世界顶级动画师迈进。Maya 集成了Alias、Wavefront 最先进的动画及数字效果技术。它不仅包括一般三维和视觉效果制作的功能，而且还与最先进的建模、数字化布料模拟、毛发渲染、运动匹配技术相结合。Maya 可在Windows NT与 SGI IRIX 操作系统上运行。在目前市场上用来进行数字和三维制作的工具中，Maya 是首选解决方案。

Maya参与制作的电影有：法国国宝级艺术家Jean Giraud，他原创的影片有《第五元素》、《异形》、《星战》等，并参与制作了《沙丘魔堡》、《深渊》等经典科幻电影；导演Glenn Chaika，著名动画片导演，曾在迪斯尼担任《小美人鱼》的动画师，并执导《拇指仙童历险记》、《花木兰II》等影片；模型监制Wayne Kennedy是曾参与过《隐形人》、《星球大战》、《龙卷风》、《黑衣人》、《木乃伊》的模型师；动画监制Bob Koch和Kelvin Lee是担任《 玩具总动员》、《精灵鼠小弟》等影片的资深动画师；特效指导Manny Wong曾担任《后天》的特效总监，并参与制作了《狂莽之灾I》、《星河战舰》、《巨蟒》、《魔女游戏》等影片。
