im animating using maya3D, and its a bit of a pain. It renders slow too.
Should i just export my models and animate with Gmod? They arent high quality and im using flat lighting anyhow.

switch the renderer to "maya hardware"

If you just want flat lights, you use the hardware render like this anon said, or you can do playblasts, if those are enough for your needs, as they're much faster. The only notable difference that I can recall between the capabilities of the two, is that you can't have DOF in the viewport, so it won't be included in a playblast. Output the playblast as a high res image sequence, since for whatever reason the video format options when outputting playblasts are very lacking.. Make sure to enable all the fancy stuff you want from the viewport settings. Playblasts literally just capture what is shown in your viewport.

Good to know, Ill work with playblast, since what I have in the viewport is what I want shown.
I had to figure out some wizardry with the hypershader to do some double sided flat textures that had transparent edges, trees, that ended up slowing my renders down since I couldnt just use aiFlat.

Might be worth trying.
