Video Overview


Maya Surface Materials 2nd Edition provides visual effects artists with an introduction to texturing and surface materials in Maya. The second edition has been completely updated and features crystal clear 1080p high definition video.

Visual effects artists, Andrew Hazelden and Russell Hazelden, share countless tips and techniques that will help you create realistic surface materials. Maya Surface Materials 2nd Edition begins with an overview of the many render nodes available in the Hypershade. Essential topics include: exploring common material attributes, shading models, specular highlights, texture mapping, 3D projections, IPR rendering and raytracing. The video shows in detail the methods used to render reflective metallic and glass surfaces, and discusses photographic techniques used to create environment maps. Both the Maya Software and Mental Ray renderers are used throughout the video.

No steps are left out and every detail is explained with easy to follow step-by-step instructions.
