LiquidMaya is a Maya plugin, Renderman-compliant that handles full Renderman output support with a focus on speed, efficiency, and extensibility.

Its features include procedural rib generation, full network rendering support, segmented rib files, a shader assignment interface, and much more.

Along with the ability to write full C++ plug-ins, it is incredibly easy to script Liquid with Mel. Liquid was used for the visual effects of the "Lord of the Rings" movie.

Here are some key features of "Liquid for Maya":
Shader management is integrated with the HyperShade
Vastly improved shadow generation and management
Render Layers are directly supported
Rendering may be previewed in Maya's RenderView panel
The number of supported renderer has increased
