ideas about MEL scripting by providing a series of examples, giving a

Mental Ray - Caustics |
This tutorial will cover how to create simple reflective caustics in
Maya using the mental ray renderer.
Reflection caustics are caused when light strikes a shiny/reflective surface
and is reflected off the surface and in turn strikes another surface,
causing a specific light pattern to appear on the surface. |
Mental Ray Volume Scattering
(Ray Marching) |
The method to generate this image is called volume scattering, or ray
marching. This can be seen in real life when light beams hit dusty or
smokey volumes of air. For example light beams coming through a window
into a dusty room, or the beams of lights at a concert, as they pass through
the smokey atmosphere. The light hits the dust or smoke particles, and
is scattered in various directions. |
Mental Ray Volume Scattering
Through Colored Materials |
This tutorial is a follow up of my frirst volume scattering tutorial but
with a slight addition. Basically we're going to simulate the same effect,
but this time the light will be entering our smokey room through a stained
glass window (or simply put a coloured, transparent surface). |
