In this simple tutorial, for Autodesk Maya beginners, we explain how to achieve a super basic lighting setup in Arnold using the settings in Physical Sky. This is as simple a setup as it is possible to achieve in Arnold, and gives good results for an outdoor scene with just a few clicks.Start by Opening Maya. Make sure you are in the Render menu (top left)Render/Render Settings/Render Using/ArnoldIn the Common Tab, go to File Output: Select JPEGImage size HD 720Now go to the Arnold Renderer Tab Arnold/Lights/Physical SkyDo a render test - the scene probably looks a bit darkTake intensity up to 4 or 5 to make it brighter. Go to Sky Tint to change the colour of the sky.Sun Tint will do something similar.
