3Delight for Maya is a fully integrated Maya plug-in that lets you render Maya scenes using the powerful 3Delight renderer.
Pretty much all Maya features are supported.

Compatible with Maya versions 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 on all 64bit platforms: Mac OS X, Windows and Linux.

  uniform, cosine, oren-nayar, blinn, ashikhmin-shirley, cook-torrance, ward, glass-ggx, hair
• Transformation/Deformation Motion Blur with support for topological changes
• RSL1.0 / RSL2.0 Shading Language (with fast JIT evaluation)
• Procedural Geometry (on demand)
• Full geometry support, without any tessellation, of polygons, subdivision, NURBS, curves, points, implicit surfaces
• Massive instancing of geometry with tiny impact on memory footprint
