Abstract
This paper describes the rendering techniques, render engines and types of lighting in the Autodesk Maya software. There are many types of algorithms in the computer graphics area, but this paper describes the most commonly used or historically important ones for the development of computer graphics. Mental ray, which is used as a plug-in, enables the photorealistic rendering for Maya. Mental ray is compared with its biggest rival – V-ray. Furthermore, this paper describes the sources of direct lighting which Maya offers, as well as the options that are available from mental ray for indirect or global lighting.
