Renderer Extension Configuration
As of Yeti 5.0, the .mod file is pre-configured with the below paths.
However, if you haven't installed the Maya plugin as per Maya Plug-In Configuration, you may need to set up the rendering extensions manually.
Solid Angle's Arnold
Please ensure you're using the correct version of MtoA and Arnold compatible with your Yeti build. Check the release notes for dependent versions.
To support rendering in both Maya and standalone, set MTOA_EXTENSIONS_PATH to point to the Yeti plug-ins sub-directory so MtoA can find it during initialization.
Next, instruct Arnold to find the Yeti plugin by setting the Yeti bin path in the ARNOLD_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable.
Be sure to append these to the paths already set or else Arnold will cease to function correctly.
MTOA_EXTENSIONS_PATH += C:\Program Files\PeregrineLabs\Yeti-5.0.0_Maya2024\plug-ins
ARNOLD_PLUGIN_PATH += C:\Program Files\PeregrineLabs\Yeti-5.0.0_Maya2024\bin
Pixar's Renderman For Maya
Rendering with Renderman for Maya is straight forward, the main installation concern is to make sure you have the Yeti DSO in the Procedural search path.
As of Renderman 22.x this has become much easier with the introduction of the RFM_PLUGINS_PATH environment variable, this should point to the Yeti bin directory where the Renderman DSO lives.
RFM_PLUGINS_PATH += C:\Program Files\PeregrineLabs\Yeti-5.0.0_Maya2024\bin
Chaos Group V-Ray
To support rendering in both Maya and standalone, append the bin directory from the Yeti installation path to the VRAY_FOR_MAYA2024_PLUGINS and VRAY_PLUGINS environment variables.
Additionally VRAY_FOR_MAYA2024_TRANSLATORS_PATH will need to be set to the Yeti plug-ins path.
Be sure to append these to the paths already set or else VRAY will cease to function correctly.
On Windows be sure that the Yeti bin directory has been added to your PATH environment variable.
VRAY_FOR_MAYA2024_PLUGINS += C:\Program Files\PeregrineLabs\Yeti-5.0.0_Maya2024\bin
VRAY_FOR_MAYA2024_TRANSLATORS_PATH += C:\Program Files\PeregrineLabs\Yeti-5.0.0_Maya2024\plug-ins
VRAY_PLUGINS += C:\Program Files\PeregrineLabs\Yeti-5.0.0_Maya2024\bin
PATH += C:\Program Files\PeregrineLabs\Yeti-5.0.0_Maya2024\bin
Redshift 3D
Yeti ships with a Redshift extension that allows hair and mesh output from evaluated graphs to be rendered with Redshift.
To use this you will need make sure the Yeti plug-ins directory is appended to the REDSHIFT_MAYAEXTENSIONSPATH environment variable.
Due to API changes please ensure you're using the same version of Redshift that the current Yeti release was built against.
REDSHIFT_MAYAEXTENSIONSPATH += C:\Program Files\PeregrineLabs\Yeti-5.0.0_Maya2024\plug-ins
