V-Ray for Maya offers its users a set of features that you should expect from a quality renderer. With its fast fully multithreaded raytracing engine it takes the advantage of all the CPUs supported by your system throughout its pipeline - preparation and rendering. Capable of making accurate reflections and refractions clean or glossy and blurred, it helps achieve astonishing realism in the computer-generated realm. Simulation of focusing (Depth-of-Field) helps in simulating real-life cameras. Different methods of illumination simulation, caustics calculations help with per-object based property adjustments help artists achieve great rendering performance for fine art photorealistic images.
