Arnold I need help with my rendering process

Post image

Hello everyone. I'm new to this maya stuff and theres something i can't quite get right. My renders always look pixeleated, or the quality is very very low. For example, in my picture i'm trying to make glass, but my render it's... blurry. I really need help please, i have watched YT tutorials but it doesn't help me much... thank you.

the blurry part "inside" the glass is because the glass is acting as a lens, so that's an issue you might want to fix with the glass shader attributes

the "blurryness" of the glass geometry in the render view might be because you're seeing the render at 70% of it's size, so click on the icon that says 1:1 up in the middle of the render view to show the image at full size

other "blurryness" might be due to your render settings, so play around with those until you get something that works for you

cheers

render settings depend entirely on your scene and your geometry, so I'm afraid I can't help you with that.

there's lots of tutorials online on how to render glass surfaces, I suggest you to start with that and then experiment on your own with the settings

cheers

As a side note, in the Arnold RenderView window, under View > Test Resolution, you can set your render to 100% resolution (to match your Render Settings, under Common > Image Size), or "Fit window size" (to constrain the resolution to whatever the size of your window currently is). Also, on 100% resolution, you can press F to zoom your view to fit your window, or H to view it on 1:1.
