| Maya Mental Ray Caustics Tutorial Alright, after so much anticipation of creating a lighting tutorial in Maya, I'm back with a proper and easily understandable video lesson regarding the advanced lighting concepts of Caustics. The Video lesson is about 20 minutes and contains the understanding of the Maya's Mental Ray system shaders and ligthing techniques. Caustic effect is a very important and a remarkable effect which is very much required in creating realistic looking glass effects.I'm Prantic and i'll be your instructor throughout the whole video.The Topics in the video can be categorized as follows:1. Intro: Discussing "what is caustics?" with examples2. Creating basic caustic effect using Maya's own default material nodes3. Discussing about Photon transmission, GI/Caustics4. Creating Caustics with Mental Ray materials5. Ways and Tips to make Renders times faster6. Conclusion: Showing mental ray renders with properties and Photon Map Visualizer.A photon map� is a technique to generate the indirect illumination effects of caustics and global illumination when you render with the mental ray renderer. When it calculates indirect illumination, the mental ray renderer traces photons emitted from a light. The photon is traced through the scene, being reflected or transmitted by objects, until it strikes a diffuse surface. When it strikes a surface, the photon is stored in the photon map.

| Maya 2011 Gold Metallic Mental Ray Shader Tutorial Gold is an elusive element to re-create because it's shiny and predictable but only when you take into account the actual lighting in the your scene. So set up a few lights and learn how to create a Golden Mental Ray Metallic Shader in this tutorial by Stuart Christensen. This shader should serve as a starting point for you to add the golden touches to your scene. Remember, gold is awesome because of the way it looks in different kinds of light so keep that in mind as you play around with the parameters of this cool Mental Ray Shader.
