How to render animation with object containing multiple materials

antihero

I have a rig. I have animations. I modeled a high poly character, baked normal map, color map to low poly. Generated textures in DDO. Now I just need to figure out how to render the damn thing.

The model has some metallic surfaces and some fabric. What program do I use if Maya won't work for it?

How do I set up a material to display both metallic and cloth properties on a single object?

It's such a simple thing, but I don't know how. There's so many experts here I'd really appreciate a little advice.

Import into a game and render it there. Unreal, Unity, CryEngine, etc. Import your model and anims into it, set up the materials, screen capture or render it out to frames.
