Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Mentalray is the third party (not made by Autodesk) renderer that has come with Maya since version 5.

Raytracing is a method of producing reflections, refractions and shadows in your rendered images.

Both Mentalray and the Maya Software Renderer can render with raytracing.

Hope that clears it up for you,

Mat.
