Radeon ProRender for Maya is a high-performance rendering engine that can be used in Maya to create photorealistic images using ray tracing. The document provides instructions on installing Radeon ProRender and the material library for Maya, using materials and render passes in the viewport, and rendering with the RenderPool. Key steps include installing the plugin and material library, assigning Radeon ProRender materials, enabling render passes and ToonTrace in the viewport, exporting scenes for rendering, and converting scenes from other render engines to Radeon ProRender.
4. AMD Radeon™ ProRender, a high-performance, physics-based rendering engine for
Professional and amazingly photorealistic images can be created.
Built on AMD's high-performance Radeon™ Rays technology, Radeon™ ProRender's fully scalable ray tracing
engine uses open industry standard tools to maximize GPU and CPU performance for fast and impressive
results. The result is a high quality, high quality, and high quality product.

13. Installation/Loading Plugin
Menu bar Windows > Settings/Preferences>Plug-in manager
and check "Loaded" for "RadeonProRender.mll".
When you check Hypershade after loading Radeon ProRender Plugin,
You can see that shaders specifically for Radeon ProRender are
loaded.
Do not check "Auto load" for plug-ins. Once the plug-in is loaded,
the Radeon ProRender Global node
and will remain in projects that do not use Radeon ProRender.
This may have an impact on other projects

31. Object ID Setting
After selecting an object, go to the Attribute Editor > Transform /
Extra Attributes of the selected object.
Enter a number in the RPR Object Id
※You can check by selecting Radeon
ProRender >AOV>Object Id.
Object IDs are displayed in colors assigned by number. The same
number will be displayed in the same color. In order to color-code
each object, you must first configure the settings.
Caution： Settings cannot be made or changed on the Render Pool.
31
32. Material ID Setting
Select shading group in Hypershade>.
Enter a number in the RPR Material Id field under Extra
Attributes.
※ You can check by selecting Radeon ProRender
>AOV>Material Id.
The Material Id displays the color assigned according to the number,
and the same number displays the same color.
In order to color-code each object, it is necessary to set the color
first.
Caution： Settings cannot be made or changed on the Render Pool.
