This tutorial demonstrates a simple, yet effective, solution

for creating dynamic turntables. Utilizing Maya’s two-node

camera, motion path animation provides a flexible way to move

the camera around the model. Precise and cycling rotations

are combined with a moving camera, to allow for various views

of the model in a single turntable.

We begin the tutorial by creating a three-point lightrig

using raytraced shadows and Mental Ray. This tutorial

demonstrates how to render a Maya animation from the Command

Line. While it is possible to render from within Maya using

Batch Render, there are several advantages to avoiding this

approach. More memory is available to the renderer when Maya

is closed which is often a necessity. But furthermore,

command line rendering simplifies the process of managing

rendered frames, network rendering and the batch rendering of

multiple scenes.

This tutorial also demonstrates how to render the

wireframe/topology of the model on top of the shaded

turntable animation. When presenting work, especially on a

reel, viewers will expect to see not just the finished

result, but also how it was achieved. Clean, efficient and

animation friendly topology is critical, therefore presenting

that aspect of your work is expected. We look at a variety of

wireframe styles and composite them in After Effects.
