What you'll learn

In this collection of lessons, we will learn about a wide variety of useful Hypershade rendering nodes. These lessons include using the Displacement node to create displacement-mapping effects, using the Layered Texture node to create complex multi-layered textures, using the Optical FX node to add realistic lens flares to Maya lights, using the different Switch Utility nodes in order to add realistic variation between many objects using the same shading network, plus several other useful Hypershade nodes. Software required: Maya (all versions).
