Maya Tutorial 2020: Render Layer Setup Overview with Timestamps

*NOTE - TIMESTAMPS ARE BELOW THIS* I add AOVs throughout the video, not just a few at the start. There are many passes (AOVs) we "could" include but it depends on what your needs are for your shot. Primary AOVs to build a shot in comp would be the diffuse, specular & shads. *** TIMESTAMPS BELOW. 1:40 - Deciding what to separate in renders 2:45 - Selecting AOV render passes for rendering 3:00 - A note about adding depth of field to a scene 5:20 - Denoiser before and after example. 6:10 - Selecting AOV render passes continued 7:20 - Test render with AOVs added 10:20 - Creating light groups (separating lights for render passes) 15:10 - Fixing the light group render error "Two drivers produced the same output path ect.." 19:20 - Changing object settings on mass (turning off primary visbility on multiple objects) 21:08 - Displaying and hiding image planes within cameras 21:52 - Creating our first render layer 23:30 - Addressing lighting issue with new render layer (render layer lighting looks different!) 25:09 - Adding shadow objects to your render layer (creating a collection for hidden objects) 28:25 - Creating an overide for lights on a render layer (adding or removing lights) 29:25 - Checking for any missing or unsual reflections in our render layer 30:45 - Creating a second render layer 36:55 - Turning on a light for our second render layer 41:00 - Creating a third render layer (background assets) 43:35 - Checking the render layer and removing an unessisary object 47:30 - Selecting further AOV's (render passes) 48:30 - Creating an ambient occlusion render pass 50:00 - Creating a shader overide for your render layer (ambient occlusion shader is added) 53:50 - Creating a render layer for ID's (rendering flat colours of our objects for comp) 1:00:25 - Assigning a material overide to collections in render layers 1:03:00 - Turning off AOV's (render passes) for render layers 1:05:40 - Overiding render settings for separate render layers 1:06:45 - Rendering your sequence *NOTE - If you want a single exr sequence for each render layer you can enable this (before you render) in your render settings tab by turning on "merge AOV's". In nuke you can then use a shuffle node to find the embedded AOVs* For online 1 on 1 tuition video/ screen calls email me at: [email protected] To support the channel go to: https://www.patreon.com/raycast Like & Subscribe if you found the video useful! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqfDpDIcmyTmPvgDCAHYeHQ?sub_confirmation=1 This was recorded whilst live streaming to students studying Visual Effects and uploaded shortly after so editing is limited.
