本教程向朋友们介绍MAYA打造神奇的光效的方法，这是一个英文的教程，主要给大家提供一些老外的思路，MAYA作为顶级的三维动画软件，同样用简单的办法就能制作出和AFTER EFFECTS 的SHINE插件一样优秀的光效。

先看效果：

this is just a simple object with shadows and fog that just tend to look sweet.

first, we will create the object that we will light and make look cool.

1) Create a cylinder with 0 caps, 50 sub axis, and 25 sub height. Make it have a radius of 2 and height of 10. Delete a random number of faces in the cylinder to make it look... holy. ( also delete the top and bottom cap)

这是一个简单的制作物体与图像光效的经典教程。

第一, 可以用这样的办法来制作我们心里想达到的光效。

1) 用MAYA创建一个, 轴为50, 和高为 25的圆柱。同时用布尔或者其他的办法制作出下图所示效果。

2) Make sure that Keep faces together (under Polygons - Tool Options) is checked) Then extude the obj about 1/3 of one of the default squares on the grid.

确定制作出的模型为一个整体(在多角形 - 工具的选项之下检查) 然后 extude obj 大约 1/3

3)Smooth the object oneortwo times to make it... smooth

对模型进行光滑处理。

4)Move the object up 5 units, then add a floor and texture them both with whatever texturesorshaders you want (I used the bone and metalmania shaders from this site)

为模型创建一个贴图，并作为材质给模型加上

5)Add a volume light, translate it on the y axis 5 units, scale it 15 in XYZ. Change it to your favorite color, set the intensity to 2.

添加和调整X;Y;Z三个轴向上的灯光

6)Add light fog with default settings.

7)turn shadows on and set the resolution to 2000.

8)Add a directional light with a intensity of .25 at an angle to counter the inner light.

9)Render and enjoy
