What is translucency in Maya?

Objects like cloth allow light to pass through them even though the actual substance they are made of is not really transparent or refractive. The light passing through the cloth is described as translucency.

How can you make plastic translucent?

One way to make transparent or translucent plastic at home is to use a plastic casting resin mix. These come in two parts, the resin and a hardener. When mixed together they form a hard, rigid plastic. Casting resins are usually clear and colorless, but you can color them using suitable dyes.

How does Arnold render transparency?

Setting up the Arnold Shader

1. Select the object (mesh)
2. Open the Attribute Editor (press Ctrl + A if it is not already open)
3. Go to the Shape node tab (in the example below, the Shape node tab is named windsheildShape)
4. Scroll down, and click the Arnold roll-down menu.
5. Disable Opaque.

How do I make VRay materials?

To add a new material to your VRay, go to the Materials Tab in your VRay Settings window. At the bottom left (Below the materials list) you’ll find an icon to add new materials. Select Generic. Rename you materials with a # to keep them at the top of your list.

What is translucence depth?

Translucence Depth. Simulates the way light diffusely penetrates through translucent objects. For example, when light shines on one side of the object, the other side is partially illuminated. This can be used for effects such as clouds, fur, hair, marble, jade, wax, paper, leaves, and so on.

What is UV editor in Maya?

UV refers to coordinates that are independent of the XYZ axes. To work with UV maps, you need to be able to unfold and fold your 3D artwork, and also cut and sew parts together. To work with UV maps, you also need to maximize space on your work area (the UV Texture Editor).

What kind of material do you use in Maya?

The plastic bottle material shown in the tutorial is used as the Base Material, and two Coat Materials are used – one for the golden label and one for the overall front label. Scale is crucial for the accuracy of the VRayFastSSS2 material. In this scene, we work in centimeters, which is the default unit scale in Maya.

When to use displacement or bump in V-Ray?

For very strong Bump effect, or for situations where correct shape in the profile of the object is needed, it’s better to use Displacement (either in a material slot or as a V-ray Displacement Modifier). Bump is a fake effect, while Displacement produces actual geometry at render time.

What does zero mean in a V-Ray material?

Zero (0) means that the rays get scattered in all directions; one (1) means the rays will continue to move in the same direction before entering the object. Light multiplier allows you to change the strength of the light as it moves inside the object. Bump is another very important component of a V-Ray Material.
