--- title: "Maya" canonical: "https://documentation.chaos.com/space/ARENA/125274154/Maya" format: markdown --- This page provides information about the supported .vrscene features exported from V-Ray for Maya.  Chaos Arena offers better support for .vrscene files exported from V-Ray Next and later versions. It is recommend to use the latest officially released V-Ray version.
