Use the Power of MAYA!

... just use it!

The shader support offered by finalRender Stage-2 is very complete in Maya.  There are in fact only a few shaders which are not supported. Maya's shader tree and standard shader nodes work just as they would with standard Maya Software Rendering. In addition to those built in shader nodes, finalRender comes with a load of additional advanced shaders and features.

If all this isnt enough, you can use finalRenders Shader SDK to write your very own shaders or convert your existing Pixar renderman or mental ray shaders in no time at all.

finalRender Stage-2 fits your pipeline, for sure!
