In this tutorial you will learn the fundamentals of what render settings to use as a beginner in Autodesk Maya. Whether you use Arnold, Redshift or other renderers, most require that you change Render Settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key Render Settings in Maya<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Render Engine:<\/strong> You can select your desired render engine for the project. Maya Hardware has faster and less accurate rendering, Arnold is the default for high-quality ray-traced rendering. Choose Maya Software in case of less complex scenes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Image Format and Resolution:<\/strong> Render Settings->Common, select the format for the output image (png\/jpeg\/exr) EXR \u2014 This is a sequence format you may want to choose for animations, as it allows for easier compositing later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Resolution: <\/strong>Match the resolution of your project needs<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Camera Settings:<\/strong> Be sure to assign the camera you want to render from! In the Render Settings select your active camera from the drop-down list of Renderable Cameras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sampling Settings:<\/strong> Control over Image Quality on Arnold using Sampling Larger sample values smooth out noise but longer render times Sampling should be about 2\u20133 for test renders. Increase it to 6-8, or even higher for final renders, depending on the complexity of your scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lighting and Shadows:<\/strong> Enable Global Illumination (GI) for Realistic Light mapping Use Exposure and Light Decay settings in lights to control the brightness of shadows well as their realism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting to know these basic render settings serve as an advantage that will allow you to both speed up and deepen your understanding about the way Maya renders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
