Not sure if you covered it in another video, but I'm using a student version of Maya 2015 and I don't have any v-ray materials. What am I missing? Thanks Mike.
+Pladamir Mutin That depends on whether you have deep pockets :-) If have worked with Mental Ray for years and got very good results. And Mental Ray is free, so :-) Up to you
MIKE, I need your help. I've just started using maya at school and I got to do a certain scene and I chose to do a beach. I got a lighthouse and I would love you to tell me how I can make the light of the lighthouse move round a full circle just like a lighthouse... I can't seem to do it :( any idea how??
+Sam Tree Sure, create a spotlight and center the pivot behind the light ( lay the pivit point an inch or two behind the actual light ) Then animate the spotlight to rotate 360 degrees around that pivot point
Hey Mike, could u please explain how could i get rendering setting just like yours? It actually renders the full image with low quality, and then like renders it better and better. I had that cool thing turned on in Maya 2015, but now switched to 2016 and forgot how to set it on. Now i have Maya rendering like one square after another, it takes so much time to actually see at least a part of an image. Help me please.
+Mike Hermes thx mate it actually helped me, i've turned off GI and turned on FG. Also it would be nice if u could made some quick tutorial about rendering settings in Maya 2016 for our community, with some tricks and tips about getting fast render with out losing much quality in Maya.
I'm actually a student at college right now and theses tutorials are really helping me out with my modeling. Just wanted to say thanks!
+juner2may2 Thank you !
Also I was wondering if you have any tips and tricks for modeling hair or cloth moving with a gust of wind.
+juner2may2 I have done video's on cloth responding to wind ( nCloth ) check this ruclips.net/video/_kXjXIwLsss/видео.html
+Mike Hermes thanks will do

+Dan Covey Hi Dan, you need the V-Ray plugin for Maya ( or V-Ray standalone ) www.vray.com/vray-for-maya/
+Mike Hermes Awesome. So it says the plug in is $995. Do you recommend shelling out for it for a currently non-professional maya user?

+d3v14nc3 Turn off final gather, then try a render and turn off global illumination and try again, one of the two is the problem,
Mike
