I have a scene in which I created grass with paintfx that I want to render with maya software. I have a character with a mental ray skin shader that needs to be rendered in mental ray also in the scene. The character is standing on a field of grass. What would be the best way to go about rendering my images for composite? Is there a way to use the render layers in maya to render out a composited image or are they just for organizing your scene? Thanks for any help.
I figured it out.
