NoteIf you want to render
Global
illumination,
Caustics,
or mental ray for Maya raytraced shadows, raytracing must be turned
on.
By default, mental ray
for Maya raytracing is turned on, which means that you can just
proceed with the global illumination or caustics workflow.
To turn on raytracing and set attributes
- Select the Rendering menu
set.
- Open the Render Settings window.
Click the Select
Window > Rendering Editors > Render Settings or
click the Render Settings window icon.
- Select the mental ray for Maya render.
- Click the Features tab.
- Turn on Raytracing.
Find Raytracing in
the Rendering Features section.
- Set the raytracing attributes. See
Raytracing for
more details.
