(Video/Lessons 11-13)

I finished video 11 where I learned how to make sure certain things don't show up in the render like a model or it's shadow or reflection. In video 12, I learned how to simulate illuminated light in Maya by putting a point light inside the light bulb and making it illuminate to give it the appearance of giving off light. In video 13, I learned about light and shadow linking in Maya, and how in light linking there are different settings (object/light centric) and how in order for shadow linking to work correctly you have to use the render settings and adjust them based on whether you're using mental ray or Maya software.
