Pipeline stage — render globals, final-frame rendering, and viewport capture: configure render settings, query them, render frames, capture playblasts. Use for producing final or preview imagery. Not for modeling (maya-mesh-ops), animation editing (maya-animation), generic file import/export (maya-geometry), or render farm submission (maya-render-farm).

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# maya-render (Pipeline stage)

Render globals + viewport capture. This skill intentionally exposes only
renderer configuration, diagnostics, and render/viewport outputs. Generic
scene or geometry file import/export belongs to `maya-geometry`; shot
packaging belongs to `maya-shot-export`. For distributed rendering, see
`maya-render-farm`.

## Render intents → tool routing

This skill covers three high-level user intents. Each maps to a primary tool
and one or more supporting tools:

| Intent | Primary tool | Supporting tools | When to use |
|--------|-------------|------------------|-------------|
| **Output a final rendered frame** (beauty pass, look-dev check) | `render_frame` | `set_render_settings`, `get_render_settings`, `set_render_quality` | Render from the active renderer (Arnold / Maya Software). Independent of viewport — works when Maya is minimized or in batch mode. |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add dcc-mcp/dcc-mcp-maya/maya-render@sha256:ac54be77b3021933

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260912.8c69a2e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
