can the mental ray final release render sub-d's or do we have to wait?

I was wondering the same thing... it says in the release notes for limitations:

"direct rendering of Maya subdivision surfaces"

So it doesn't directly support SubDs. Maybe there is a workaround? I'm sure you'd end up having to render out the poly-proxy, which wouldn't look too great. :hmm:

or maybe having to convert to polygons. I have not tried to render in nurbs, but I suppose it works. If not, thats just sad. I have not downloaded the final release yet and Im not too sure if I plan on it either. I might just stick with maya's renderer.
