mental ray Production Shaders in Maya

Maya 2008 and higher

In this course we will learn how the mental ray Production Shaders can be used to take our Maya renders to a new level of realism and efficiency. Topics include rendering instantaneous motion blur using the mip_motionblur node, using the mip_card_opacity node to render accurate depth and normal passes, re-rendering portions of our images using the mip_render_subset node, compositing our 3D objects into live-action environments using the mip_cameramap, mip_matteshadow, and mip_mirrorball nodes, as well as many other mental ray Production Shaders found within Maya.
