Mai-Tai

What Mai-Tai is


Mai-Tai is a Maya command plug-in for exporting RIB to a file or RenderMan-compliant renderer such as RenderDotC. Version 1.1 includes the following features:

  • Fully integrated fur, either generated by Mai-Tai or export of Maya fur.

  • Direct support of Maya subdivision surfaces.

  • Automatic generation of shadow and environment maps.

  • Export of both "flat" and "tubular" curve geometry.

  • Export of Maya particle geometry.

  • Export of Maya cloth.

  • Optional use of "DelayedReadArchive" to accelerate rendering.

  • Selective export of geometry within camera view only.

  • Optional export of selected objects only for quick tests.

Mai-Tai for SGI is distributed as n32 mips3 binaries. Mai-Tai for Windows NT is distributed as Intel Pentium binaries.

The source code for the Mai-Tai plug-in is not available. The MEL scripts and RenderMan shaders are distributed with source. Please contribute enhancements to scripts and shaders back to Dot C.
