hi,

does anybody has some experiences with the new mental ray connection to maya4.5 ? especially we are looking for the custom mental ray shaders. we tried all the connection but nothing will work for us. only if the connect the mental ray light shader to the maya light. this seems to work but all the others don't.

no, no icos :hmm: damn thing. the help files say that black renders were problems of the past version. hhhmmm, i guess this makes this a beta :).

sometimes i got really black results, even the alpha. and sometimes i got an alpha but really really strange.

I got this weird problem with Mental ray 1.5

whenever i startup maya , and i change to the render set, i cannot open the render menu from the top selections.

I get this empty pull down window.
And i can only enter the render globals through the pull down menu > rendering > render globals (maya) or the Mental ray one.

How can i fix this 'bug' ?
