3Delight for Maya is a fully integrated Maya plug-in that lets you render Maya scenes using the powerful 3Delight renderer.

3Delight for Maya supports Maya version 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 on all 64bit platforms: MacOSX, Windows and Linux.

The plug-in is designed to be easy to use and integrates all the features needed in modern pipelines:

• Full Path Tracing Global Illumination
• HDRI Image Based Lighting (IBL) with HQ environment sampling
• Physically/Visually plausible BSDF evaluation via RSL, featuring:
  

  uniform, cosine, oren-nayar, blinn, ashikhmin-shirley, cook-torrance, ward, glass-ggx, hair

• IPR Re-lighting
• Network Cache for textures and archives
• 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
• Powerful render passes/sets system
• 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
• Multi-Camera rendering (Stereo is the case with 2 cameras)
• Outline rendering with shading component detection
• Powerful Image Viewer: I-Display
