3Delight for Maya is a fully integrated Maya plug-in that lets you render Maya scenes using the powerful 3Delight renderer.
The plug-in is designed to be easy to use and integrates all the features used in modern pipelines:
- Full Path Tracing Global Illumination
- HDRI Image Based Lighting (IBL)
- Physically/Visually plausible BSDF evaluation via RSL, featuring:
uniform, cosine, oren-nayar, blinn, ashikhmin-shirley, cook-torrance, ward, glass-ggx, hair
- IPR Re-lighting
- Sub-Pixel Displacement (analytic)
- Subdivision Surfaces (analytic)
- Topological-change Deformation Motion Blur
- Massive instancing of geometry with no impact on memory footprint
- RSL1.0 / RSL2.0 Shading Language
- Multi-Light Output (per-light AOV of any component, of any light path)
- Multi-Masks Output (output of object/material masks)
- EXR File Output
- Deep EXR Image File output
- Procedural Geometry (on demand)
- Full geometry support, without any tessellation, of polygons, subdivision, NURBS, curves, points, implicit surfaces
- Caustics (via Photon Mapping)
- Ability to choose REYES algorithm for lower pixel complexity projects
- Ability to choose Point-Based Global Illumination algorithm for lower pixel complexity projects
3Delight for Maya supports Maya version 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 on all 64bit platforms: MacOSX, Windows and Linux.
