Pipeline stage — render globals and viewport capture: configure render

preview imagery. Not for modeling (maya-mesh-ops), animation editing

# 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`.

## Scripts

- `set_render_settings` — Set render parameters (resolution, frame range, renderer, image format)

- `get_render_settings` — Query current render settings

- `get_scene_render_stats` — Query render-facing scene statistics

- `set_render_quality` — Set render quality presets

- `capture_viewport` — Capture the active viewport as a base64-encoded PNG

- `playblast` — Capture a viewport screenshot as a base64-encoded PNG
