Hi guys, im kind of new to the maya package, i´ve looked around for a GI render plugin or something for maya but haven´t found anything, i´m not asking for much, only a cheap and fast GI renderer that´s pretty easy to learn, hopefully integrated with the maya interface if possible. =)

thx in advance! =)

By far the biggest news in the Maya community in recent memory is that the Mental Ray renderer is now free. Download it at aliaswavefront.com.

sure i saw that too, but when they release it it will cost a whole lot of money, and i dont wanna shelve out with that much, isn´t there anything else out there? cheaper? i remember the 3dsmax release and it was just too much for a renderer....well thats what i think anyway! =) i really liked brazil rs for max, easy to use and really fast....will brazil be released for maya as well?

how much cheaper is there then free?? Just wondering?

From www.aliaswavefront.com :

http://www.aliaswavefront.com/en/products/maya/mentalray.shtml :

mental ray for Maya 1.5 will be included as Maya's standard rendering tool when this product is released.

But if you really want something cheaper then that then im assuming you arent paying for maya anyway ;) ;)
