Eventually, the tutorial page on my site will be removed.

In this tutorial we will explore how to use Maya 7.0 new feature “Render Layers”

    Thanks a lot, this is very helpful.
    Could you describe the material setting for the object that catches the shadow?
    Thanks.

    I am trying to render layer on Maya 2009. The render passes are saved, when i do batch render.
    But when i select the pass layer and render current frame in maya. it does not show the render pass. I did make sure masterlayer is not renderable, still the render shows as master layer.

    Make sure that the passes are loaded in the Associated passes section
    I made another tutorial about using Passes for Autodesk University
