creating Mental Ray lightmaps in Maya 6.0

Jeff Parrott

Just finished this tutorial for Maya. There really isn't a lot of info on doing this on the web. I had to do it for the basketball court level I made. Figured the one person that creates levels in Maya might like it.

Our entire studio builds environments in Maya, but we use mentalray in a proprietary way to bake out our vertex lighting and light maps.
