Week 10

Fig.1 - 

Today's lesson was helpful mostly for working on my final project. I was exposed to rendering layers in Maya which was very confusing for me, however, I was able to work around it. I learnt about rendering shadows, lighting, specular diffuse and more. I then brought the assets from Maya into Nuke. As shown in figure 4 I used shuffle nodes, reformat and more. After being shown how to render and export Maya to Nuke, the class used half of the day to focus on our final project. 

In conclusion, I have more to learn about Maya rendering layers and Nuke nodes. What I will be doing next is working on my personal studies, and experimenting with Nuke.
