Viewport 2.0 Quickstart

Viewport 2.0 takes advantage of new video card technology built for games. It’s a great way to test out lighting on your scenes in a very early time/look dev.

There’s a few engines out there for Maya, this engine can do many more lights and might be worth looking into at some stage…
