well you can use Entropy but then you have to have Mayaman (AnimalLogic ) to be the connector between Entropy and Maya.

But also be advised that with the new Maya 4.5 some render may not work ! user added image

Virtual light is very cool and very free! It compares to Mental Ray(not as strong) but its simple to use and its FREE!! The biggest downfall.....it only works with Maya 4.0. all the 4.5 users have to wait.
