Free Maya Arnold Scenes: 24 Official MtoA Learning Scenes (Autodesk)
Original title: Arnold for Maya – Learning Scenes
Overview
The Arnold for Maya Learning Scenes are Autodesk's official collection of 24 example scenes from the Arnold for Maya (MtoA 5.5.4) User Guide. Each zip isolates one feature, including studio and car studio lighting, mesh lights, a cylinder-light lightsaber, camera bokeh, motion blur, transmission ray depth (diamond), sea displacement, volumetric shadows, stand-ins, toon shading, Paint FX, room and model-village scenes and portrait lighting rigs.
They are free direct downloads from areadownloads.autodesk.com as zips with .ma/.mb files, but they are minimal learning setups, and some textures must be sourced yourself. An essential reference for anyone learning Arnold in Maya.
