Maya Vector
Vector rendering lets you render your objects with an illustrated or cartoon look. You can render "ink" outlines of your characters to composite over flat-color passes. Figure 11.6 shows the fruit still life rendered with Maya Vector.

Maya Vector can output animated files in Macromedia Flash format for direct use in web pages and animations, as well as Adobe Illustrator files and the usual list of image formats. To specify the attribute settings for Maya Vector, you use the Maya Vector tab in the Render Settings window (see Figure 11.7).
In the Fill Options section, click the Fill Objects check box and select the number of colors for each object to set the look of the render. If you want the renderer to include an outline of the edges of your geometry, in the Edge Options section click the Include Edges check box and set the line weights.
