Overview
3Delight for Maya can render any Maya HyperShade network. Scenes that are setup using the usual Maya workflow will work out-of-the-box with 3Delight for Maya. In addition, 3Delight for Maya provides utility nodes and materials for physically plausible shading.
3Delight's Materials and Shaders Library
In addition to standard Maya nodes and materials, 3Delight for Maya comes with easy to use and physically plausible materials.
3Delight Material – A hightly versatile dual-layer material to simulate a large variety of surfaces.
3Delight Skin – For rendering (human) skin.
3Delight Glass – For rendering glass.
3Delight Hair & Fur – For rendering realistic hair.
3Delight Metal – For rendering physically correct metallic materials.
3Delight Substance – For rendering material definitions produced by Substance Designer.
3Delight Sky – For rendering physically correct sky dome.
3Delight Layered Material – For layering up to three different materials.
To render volumes, 3Delight provides the following shaders:
3Delight Atmosphere - For rendering atmospheric effects.
For custom materials, users can define their own OSL shading nodes as explained in Creating Custom OSL HyperShade Nodes.
