MtoA is a plug-in for Autodesk Maya which provides a bridge to the Arnold rendering system from within the standard Maya interface. Once installed, and the plug-in loaded in Maya, all you need to do is select Arnold rendering in Maya to start rendering your scenes. Arnold is a global illumination system incorporating modern ray tracing and physically based shading techniques. Arnold offers greater speed, more power and higher quality. This gives studios using Arnold a distinct competitive advantage - especially in big-budget productions.

8 }3 _- X* ?% \. Q! }. g) k' s6 ]Over the past few years, Arnold has been used to create unique visual effects in major VFX feature films, animated features, and high-end commercial projects. Sony Pictures Imageworks was the catalyst for the professional adoption of the product and will use Arnold in all upcoming films.

% C, @" R, l) S0 [" |% e/ W, ]Arnold uses cutting-edge algorithms that make the most effective use of your computer’s hardware resources: memory, disk space, multiple processor cores, and SIMD/SSE units.

The Arnold architecture was designed to easily adapt to existing pipelines. It is built on top of a pluggable node system; users can extend and customize the system by writing new shaders, cameras, filters and output driver nodes, as well as procedural geometry, custom ray types and user-defined geometric data. The primary goal of the Arnold architecture is to provide a complete solution as a primary renderer for animation and visual effects. However, Arnold can also be used as:
. `: [0 d1 w8 g• A ray server for traditional scanline renderers
( B) [3 V" U9 e• A tool for baking/procedural generation of lighting data (lightmaps for videogames)
• An interactive rendering and relighting tool

) h  R, @. H" Z; t! SWhy is Arnold different?
Arnold is an unbiased ray/path tracing engine. It doesn't use caching algorithms that introduce artifacts like photon mapping and final gather.
