Create mattes in Maya for Mental Ray rendering

Create mattes in Maya for Mental Ray rendering

In this Maya 3D software lesson we will learn various ways to render geometry as a matte. Watch and see how to create matte objects within Maya for rendering with Mental Ray. Matte objects will render invisible but still affect the other objects in the scene. If an object is partially blocked by a matte object, the blocked part will not render. This is an important concept for any 3D software artist.
