MayaMan will render the current frame to the screen.
Render Single Frame
MayaMan will render the current frame to the display driver that is set in object archiving feature, which enables groups/hierarchies of objects to be manually exported as RIB archives.
Render Shadow Map...
This menu item will render the shadow map for the currently selected light. Once the shadow map has been created, it will be automatically be assigned to the light as a "Custom Shadow Map", meaning that MayaMan will reuse that shadow map for all frames, even if the light moves.
The "Use Full Paths" option determines whether MayaMan will use explicit or relative paths in the RIB files. If relative paths are used then the user-specified "Shadow Map Directory" will be automatically added to MayaMan Global Options: RenderMan Search Paths: Texture Paths.
