Digital-Tutors : Utilizing Shading Networks in Maya 2011

1 hrs. 43 min. |Released on April 4, 2011 |Project Files Included (12 MB)

Required Software: Maya 2011 and up

In this series of lessons, we will be exploring many of the ways that shading networks can be utilized within Maya.

Shading networks can be used in many different aspects of Maya including material and texture creation, lighting, special effects, and rigging just to name a few. Because these networks are widely used throughout Maya, this is one aspect of the application that nearly all Maya artists should be familiar with. This course will explore topics such as using various render nodes to create complex material and texture effects, building shading networks to simulate atmospheric effects, using shading networks for lighting purposes, and many other topics that will allow you to become a stronger, more efficient Maya artist.
