Hello everyone! We have worked to develop a plugin! There is a little
information about him!!
Introduction:
MayaRAY is a experimental rendering interface built-in Maya 4.0 to Povray3.5
and MegaPov0.7.
Supported features
Main features:
camera, lights, Maya materials, Povray materials, Povray pattern and
textures, Maya geometry
Supported Povray features
Povray solids:
sphere,blob,infinite plane, cylinder, torus, height field, others will be
added soon.
Camera:
perpective, fov, dof, ...
Lights:
Ambient, point, spot, paralel, area with most Povray attributes, glow(with
megaPov)
Geometry conversion between Maya-Povray:
All Maya polygons and nurbs. Per face material and uvmapping supported.
Per-vertex normals is exported.
Optionally, nurbs geometry is converted to Povray biqubic patchs to minimixe
export time and maximize geometry quality.
At this time trimmed nurbs is not converted patchs and that's tesellated to
faces. This feature will be implemented in future!
Object switches:
photons, hollow, no_image, no_reflection, double_illuminate, inverse!
Material:
Supported Maya shader is blinn, phong, lambert with image and bump mapping.
And special Povray material, shader and pattern nodes for direct connection
to Povray materials.
Povmaterial with interior, caustic, media, scattering. Povshader node for
pigment, finish and normal emulations.
Povpatten node for Povray pattern emulation with pigment_map and pigment
color_map emulations. That contains many pattern type and
noise modifier. Other modifiers and layered materials will be implemented in
future. This nodes will be implemented for more adaptation to Maya shading!
Internal using and preview of Povray material by a special material editor;
Atmospheric:
Sky sphere, fog ( uniform and layered), ambient.
Povray settings:
global parameters, antialias setting, photons, caustic, radiosity (with save
and load solution) parameters
Extra settings:
For manually entering any Povray code that will be added to exported Povray
scene code
Post effects:
Will be supported megaPov post renderings
In future:
Subdivision geometry, Maya post renderings (fur,paintfx,etc,..), Maya
particule rendering, more control over Povray via GuiExt interface,
Renderer compability
Povray 3.5b7 and megaPov 0.7

What?! No web page to go to for a download?! :-)
I might finally have a reason to install the Maya demo I have here, which
hopefully is 4.0--- oh, it is not, only version 2.5 :-(
Anyway, sounds like the only major commercial program export to POV-Ray, I
would know of anyway. Any plans to have a import from POV to Maya? That
would be a holy grail.

That's cool and all, but I can't understand how people who can spend
thousands of dollars for such a high-end software would use POV-Ray to
render their works. I don't know Maya, so perhaps someone now will tell me
that its render sucks or something like that...

I think the builtin Maya renderer has been known for it's limited quality
for a long time, on the other hand i have heard there were a lot of
improvements in version 4.
Anyway, the problem with such rendering plugins is the same as with
xxx2pov file format converters - you will never be able to use the full
strength of Povray with them.

Nah, it's just POV is so much faster...

What? Why are you looking at me like that? ;)

Yes! Maya is a highend program!! But renderer is not a true raytracer and
have many problems and about raytracing with many shadows,
reflection,refraction,etc. in heavy scenes!!
First i'm a 3d animator and programmer! Mayaray project started just for fun
but it works good now with a lot of supported povray features. And i don't
think to compete with Maya default renderer at this moment!
Because of Povray not support many standarts like nurbs,subd,without a api
for direct connection... but i suppose that will be added in future!! And
most important things that's Povray give very good quality renderings and
stability! We have'nt any plan to do Povray importer for maya!
And last things i want to say you can write any Povray code in Maya to add
exported scenes!!
Mayaray is in beta stage and will be available to download in short time!
And we will need to take your ideas and feedbacks about it!!
I think it will be very useful for most people!

That's a feature every POV modeller should have and always lacks.

Yes you're right for most situations!! I tried to explain a few reason to
write like a plugin in previous reply! Also i want to connect the strengh of
Maya and Povray, and i want to say again it started just for fun. And it
have a internal editor to add Povray command to exported scenes to give
maximum flexibility!

Where can I find more information about Maya?
