This page provides information on how V-Ray integrates into the standard Maya menus.


## **Overview**

---

V-Ray provides a [menu on its own](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/VMAYA/pages/111738981) in Maya's toolbar, where you can find some commonly used V-Ray components.

In addition, there are a number of items to the Maya menus, in particular the **File**, **Create, Windows, Lighting/Shading,** and viewport **Panels** ** **menus. Here you can create V-Ray lights, geometric objects, etc.


> ℹ️ The V-Ray plugin needs to be activated in the plug-in manager for the options to appear.
