Window > Rendering Editors > Render Settings

Render settings (scene settings) for the Maya Hardware renderer, the mental ray for Maya renderer, the Maya Software renderer, the Maya Vector renderer are consolidated into one Render Settings window.

Use the settings in this window to set scene-wide render options. Especially when used in conjunction with per-object render settings (see the particular object or render subject matter for details), the render settings give you a great deal of control over quality of rendered images and the speed with which they are rendered.

To open the Render Settings window, see Open the Render Settings window.
