Join Brian Bradley for an in-depth discussion in this video Creating a translucency effect, part of V-Ray 2.0 for Maya Essential Training.
In this video, we are going to do a little bit of extra work on our…tablecloth material.…Really we want to take what we have so far and make it behave a little…more realistically, a little more organically in respect to the scene's lighting setup.…To do this, we are going to make use of a couple of V-Ray materials and a new…one, the V-Ray 2-sided material.…We do need to switch cameras inside our view, so let's come to the Panels Menu,…and I'm just going to choose this CAM_ TableCloth option, and you can see we have…a brand-new perspective on our scene.…
If we take a render, just to remind ourselves of what we have so far in…our material setup.…You can see the things are just as we left them.…Our pattern is working fine, our colors are looking good in the scene.…However, at this moment in time from this particular camera perspective, we are…looking essentially directly into the V-Ray sun that is settled in our scene.…Now from such a point of view, we would expect to see light passing through our…
