Introduction to Maya - Rendering in Arnold
This course will look at the fundamentals of rendering in Arnold. We'll go through the different light types available, cameras, shaders, Arnold's render settings and finally how to split an image into render passes (AOV's), before we then reassemble it i

mental ray can render proper GI, GI_Joe fakes GI because maya atm can not actually do global illumination so something is needed to give the EFFECT
mental ray is well known for its ray tracing ie. reflections, refractions, GI etc
renderman is amazing for displacement/bump maps and is so bloody fast, its pretty much industry standard (the file format it uses, which is .rib)
GI_Joe isnt actually a renderer, its just a way to simulate a light setup close to what global illumination is actually like
all those compared to mayas native:
mental ray, much faster, but cant render things like fur
renderman, very very fast, quality of image is a lot better but requires a lot of setup and you need to know how to program shaders pretty well to get a nice result
GI_Joe, nothing to compare, you cant render with it, you setup lights with it, then render using a renderer
just to clarify, from the list, the only renderers are:
MentalRay
PRman/Renderman
Maya
hope that helps

GI_Joe renders from maya as its just a maya light setup
mental ray is integrated into maya so you can render from there, but you can render from outside (i think) like command line rendering
renderman can be used inside of maya but i cant really say the MTOR is all that great, better to render externally really
mayas GUI takes up ram processing power and stuff anyway which slows down the render by quite a bit which is why command line rendering is favoured cos its faster and theres no need to load a UI
