Shading and Texturing in Autodesk Maya


Types of Shader

The Lambert Shader Type

The Phong Shader Type

The Blinn Shader Type

The Phong E Shader Type

The Antisotropic Shader Type

The Layered Shader Type

The Ramp Shader Type





The Lambert Shader Type (Eg.  Sheet of Paper)

Used for a dull or matte surface



The Phong Shader Type (Eg. Glass, Plastic, Metal)

Used for Glossy objects which have reflected light with an as short hot spot.



The Blinn Shader Type

Used for a highly accurate specular lighting model with increased control over the specular’s appearance. It is used on shiny/reflects light surface & metallic surface. It reflects the hot spotlight is more gradually than a Phong.



The Phong E Shader Type

It has more control in the specular highlight, more color gradually & sharper than a Blinn. It has more options for metallic reflection for Glossiness of the surface.



The Antisotropic Shader Type   (Eg. CD)

Used for the deformed surface in foil wrapper/warped plastic. It differs according to the direction. By contrast with Blinn and Phong types.



The Layered Shader Type  

The stacking of creating complex shading effects useful for creating objects composed of multiple materials. It controls compound & complex shaders, transparency maps, perfect for putting labels on objects or adding dirt to the aged surface.



The Ramp Shader Type

It has a gradient attached to any attribute of shader as a texture node.

Used for graduating color scales, transparency effects, increasing glow effects. Etc.

Types of Animation in Autodesk Maya

There are various types of animation in Autodesk Maya. KEYFRAME ANIMATION: Records the changes of movement/values in time and an object’s attributes as the curve. Values of objects and time). These recorded values/points/curves are called “keys”. DYNAMIC OR EFFECTS ANIMATION: There are various types of animation in Autodesk Maya. KEYFRAME ANIMATION: Records the changes of movement/values in time and an object’s attributes as a curve. Values of objects and time). These recorded values/points/curve are called “keys”. DYNAMIC OR EFFECTS ANIMATION: The simulation of objects or phenomena movement using rules of physical as made possible by maya internal simulation an….. For example, Particle, Fluids etc offer such as smoke, hair fur cloths. PATH ANIMATION : The object is following a specific path through Nurbs curve. MOTION CAPTURE : A live-action records as a dataset that can drive a Skelton that in turn drives a character....
