MayaMan Reflection Options

General Reflection Options

Generate Reflection Maps

This option causes MayaMan to generate and render RIBs from reflective objects.

Reuse Maps

If this option is on, MayaMan will reuse the reflection images rendered previously. This is okay if the objects in your scene have not moved.

Delete Maps After Render

This causes MayaMan to delete the rendered reflection maps after rendering the main image.

Reflection Motion Blur

When using motion blur, you can use this option to enable/disable motion blur when rendering the reflection image. It is rare that motion blur would be visible in the object reflections, so this is off by default.

Reflection Displacement

Similar to the motion blur option above, it is rare that displacements would be visible in reflections, so you should leave this option off to speed up the rendering of the reflection images.

Environment Intensity

In the case of cubic environment maps this parameter is used to control the blending of the environment.

Reflection Map Resolution

The options here control the resolution of the rendered reflection maps. You should use the smallest possible resolution to increase the speed of the reflection map rendering.
