In this simple tutorial, for Autodesk Maya beginners, we explain how to achieve a super basic lighting setup in Arnold using the settings in Physical Sky. This is as simple a setup as it is possible to achieve in Arnold, and gives good results for an outdoor scene with just a few clicks.
Physical Sky Tutorial
- Start by Opening Maya. Make sure you are in the Render menu (top left)
- Render/Render Settings/Render Using/Arnold
- In the Common Tab, go to File Output: Select JPEG
- Image size HD 720
- Now go to the Arnold Renderer Tab
- Arnold/Lights/Physical Sky
- Do a render test – the scene probably looks a bit dark
- Take intensity up to 4 or 5 to make it brighter.
- Go to Sky Tint to change the colour of the sky.
- Sun Tint will do something similar.
