Mentalray is the third party (not made by Autodesk) renderer that has come with Maya since version 5.

Raytracing is a method of producing reflections, refractions and shadows in your rendered images.

Both Mentalray and the Maya Software Renderer can render with raytracing.

Hope that clears it up for you,

Mat.
