Rendering Pipeline

The diagram below shows a possible rendering pipeline for Maya Skies. Comments are more than welcome: Click Here to download a version of this drawing which can be edited using the open source diagram tool 'Dia'.

Starting with layout from the approved script, the diagram shows most of the major production tasks that lead to rendered frames. In the version shown, there are four opportunities for screening each shot in a dome (shown in green), with related places to make image adjustments (shown in yellow). The details of the texturing process, the subject for another page, are sketched in here. The rendering steps assume that we will be segregating shots by time of day: day shots rendered in Radiance/Sunflow, night shots rendered in Fryrender/Sunflow.
