3Delight for Maya is a flexible and easy to use plug-in for Maya that leverages the power of 3DelightNSI to support the most demanding rendering pipelines. Here is an overview of the main components and concepts behind 3Delight for Maya.

 

3Delight Rendering Settings




3Delight's rendering options include settings for items such as image quality, resolution and image layers (AOVs).  These can be edited in Maya's Render Settings dialog. Since all these options are stored by 3Delight for Maya in regular Maya nodes, they can be edited in Maya's Attribute Editor as well. Note that these options can also specify the list of objects to use for rendering. 

Since 3Delight for Maya encapsulate these Render Settings optionsit it possible to have multiple and save them with distinct names. Although it is not mandatory to have more than one Render Settings, having the possibility to define multiple Render Settings gives increased flexibility in the production pipeline. See Render Settings for a complete description.


3Delight Materials




3Delight for Maya comes with a set of handy physically-plausible HyperShade materials.  See Materials for a complete description.

 

Object Attributes



3Delight for Maya supports many of Maya's Render Stats options and defines additional attributes on some Maya nodes. See Object Attributes and Set-Based Attributes Overrides for a complete description. 

  

3Delight Preferences




Users of 3Delight for Maya can configure some of its operations to their personal preferences. Such options are available in the 3Delight Preferences dialog. These options are not project or scene specific (such as render settings or object attributes) and they have no effects on the look of the images being rendered.
