In Maya<\/strong> you render an animation by going through all the 3D scenes that makeup your video sequence and you render each still image called frame. Maya comes with fully-fledged rendering tools which bring high quality results for professional and personal use along with the Arnold engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How To Render An Animation in Maya<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set Up the Scene<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Control all models, lights and cameras in your scene Animate objects and cameras using keyframes, if required as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Select the Rendering Engine<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maya comes with Arnold as the renderer, one of the best physical renderers out there. Vote: Arnold for photorealistic animations Alternatively, if you do not need high quality and speed in rendering, use the Maya Software instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Configure Render Settings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the Render Settings open, set the Frame Range to correspond with your animation. Write Output (png, exr, avi) and resolution<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here you can change the Arnold Sampling Settings to control noise and quality. The Quality will be better but they are affecting the Render Time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Render the Animation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Render > Render Sequence renders every frame from 0 to last of the range you set, and save all in the output directory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create a preview of your animation using Maya’s Playblast feature, and view it after rendering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steps to Render Animation Quickly<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GPU rendering: <\/strong>If available in your version of Arnold, you are able to change the rendering to GPU and increase the speed of render on each frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our example tusimple, for draft renders (eg deformation) lower sample rates and for final output larger sample rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With those steps, there you have it: A streamlined way to export top-quality animations in Maya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
