I'm looking for Window > Rendering Editors > Render Globals

I don't see it anywhere :headbang:

Been looking for a couple days now, all the help files as well as a few friends of mine AND google, but havent gotten anywhere.

I'm sure it's just some stupid little error somewhere user added image

Ahh, ok, yes and no because I'm on the third page of this tutorial : https://www.highend3d.com/maya/tutori...lygon/239.html

And it tells me to :

apply these settings in the render globals: min sample level 1 max sample level 3

I got another problem though hahaha, it's awesomer this time though...

I've been around the web (again) and cant seem to figure out why there is no Image Based Lighting node in my Render Settings window... There should be, right?

Brand new, just installed yesterday and already I'm losing stuff :headbang:

Also be aware there are 1000's of tutorials and DVD's out there still showing you how to do stuff in Maya 5, 6, or 7. Autodesk amde major changes to a lot of the UI and this seems to cause a lot of confusion for a lot of people learning Maya on version 8, 8.5 or 2008.

To help clear things up:

Render Globals is the old name/term used for what is now Render Settings.

A lot of the settings in Render Settings have been moved about and to ammend theses setting refer to the Help files for your version. They are useful and no one ever uses them anymore, press F1 people there is a world of information in their and you should not rely on the internet to solve issues like this one. It all goes back to the old saying:

Glad you are sorted tho user added image

R@nSiD, I did RTFM, it said RENDER GLOBALS

And had images of windows that said RENDER GLOBALS

And, everything on the internet says RENDER GLOBALS

So, I googled RENDER GLOBALS to find a window that said RENDER GLOBALS which doesnt ****ing exist.

This is my first time using any 3D software, so I didn't read the change log or anything

ALL of the help files said RENDER GLOBALS and all of the images in the hlep files said RENDER GLOBALS

So who the hell do I ask for support if the rest of the world says Render Globals, well my first ****ing though was, why not post on a forum, IN THE NOOBS SECTION where people are supposed to be decent are forgiving or DUMBASS MISTAKES LIKE MINE

I don't think it's fair at all to tell me to RTFM.

Blah blah blah [insert size of e-peen here]

I donno if you have solved it yet though, you cannot see it because it is under "Raytrace/Scanline Quality", expand the arrow.

[EDIT]

Ohh you solved it, user added image

What version of maya are you running?

Also if you get menus missing, and they are missing, not just somewhere that you cant see, then changing the DPI settings to 96 sorts out the problem.
