In this collection of lessons we will be exploring several of the V-Ray rendering nodes that can be found in Maya's Hypershade.
These Hypershade nodes can be used to create a variety of
effects and many of these nodes provide us a number of additional
controls over our V-Ray renders. For example, we will be taking an
in-depth look at a number of nodes that can be used individually or used
together to create a variety of surface material types that obey
real-world laws of optics. We will also learn a variety of methods for
adding volumetric effects to our renders, creating subsurface scattering
materials, using geometry as a direct illumination source, along with
many other lessons dedicated to the various V-Ray nodes found in Maya's
Hypershade.
