The Standard Surface shader is a multi-purpose shader capable of producing all types of materials, from simple plastic to car paint or skin. The Standard Surface shader is very powerful, and allows a large number of different sorts of materials to be created, but can be somewhat daunting at first. Due to a large number of controls, the Standard shader is split up into several groups such as Diffuse, Specular, Sub-Surface scattering etc. We will need to adjust the Diffuse and Glossy attributes in order to get a believable brushed metal effect. We will also look at some of Arnold's camera lens options to produce a realistic, physically accurate depth of field. Lastly, we will look at how to optimize render settings and eliminate any noise that may appear in the render. Note that, although Maya and MtoA have been used in this tutorial, much of the material is really about Arnold in general and so is also relevant to users of other Arnold implementations such as 3ds Max to Arnold (MAXtoA) and Houdini to Arnold (HtoA). The estimated time it will take to complete this tutorial should be no more than 30 minutes. Start off by opening the Arnold-robot.ma scene.It does not store any personal data.In the scene, you should see the robot model (positioned at 0,0,0 on the Maya grid) and a simple studio backdrop model.
