Lighting in Mental Ray - Area Lights - 01 In this series we examine area lights in Maya and Mental Ray, cross comparing with a variety of settings, area light shapes and different quality settings. We then graduate to implementing mental ray centric shaders into the area light with physical lights, blackbodies and cie temperature controls.

Light Streaks With Final Gather There's nothing better than some well placed light streaks to liven up an object or create cool atmospheric effects. The uses are only limited by your imagination and this tutorial by Stuart Christensen will show you how to set up and fine tune the light streak effect by using a combination of Mental Ray Final Gather and the Mental Ray Area Light. Hopefully, by doing this tutorial you will see the light! By: Mr-Bluesummers [homepage] / Posted: Dec 12, 2011 / Skill Level: Beginner / Viewed 12 times in Maya -> Rendering Hosted: Offsite
Mental Ray Approximation Editor A very brief look at the Mental Ray Approximation Editor. This tutorial is intended for people that have no idea what the Mental Ray Approximation Editor is.

Maya Mental Ray Caustics Tutorial Alright, after so much anticipation of creating a lighting tutorial in Maya, I'm back with a proper and easily understandable video lesson regarding the advanced lighting concepts of Caustics. The Video lesson is about 20 minutes and contains the understanding of the Maya's Mental Ray system shaders and ligthing techniques. Caustic effect is a very important and a remarkable effect which is very much required in creating realistic looking glass effects.I'm Prantic and i'll be your instructor throughout the whole video.The Topics in the video can be categorized as follows:1. Intro: Discussing "what is caustics?" with examples2. Creating basic caustic effect using Maya's own default material nodes3. Discussing about Photon transmission, GI/Caustics4. Creating Caustics with Mental Ray materials5. Ways and Tips to make Renders times faster6. Conclusion: Showing mental ray renders with properties and Photon Map Visualizer.A photon map� is a technique to generate the indirect illumination effects of caustics and global illumination when you render with the mental ray renderer. When it calculates indirect illumination, the mental ray renderer traces photons emitted from a light. The photon is traced through the scene, being reflected or transmitted by objects, until it strikes a diffuse surface. When it strikes a surface, the photon is stored in the photon map.
