Hi
First install mental ray Standalone in the correct way.
add theses variables to your OS

MI_RAY_SERVICE = mayaray356
MI_ROOT = C:\Program Files\Autodesk\MentalRayStandalone3.6.51
SPM_HOST = Name of your machine
Path = ;C:\Program Files\Autodesk\MentalRayStandalone3.6.51\bin
MI_RAY_INCPATH = C:\Program Files\Autodesk\MentalRayStandalone3.6.51\include
MI_LIBRARY_PATH = C:\Program Files\Autodesk\MentalRayStandalone3.6.51\lib

edit your rayrc file

You can use puppet Script (http://www.puppet.tfdv.com/download/m2mr_1.0.9.zip)to render directly with Mental Ray Standalone from maya

Hope you have a file in c:\temp called test.mi
to render this file:

ray -v 5 -x on -imgpipe 1 C:/temp/test.mi | imf_disp -

for more info:

ray -h


Hope this help

thx alot achoury !

so mentalray standalone does need a correctly edited rayrc file ?
i mean mr4maya recognizes include/libs automatically since version 8.0 ?

correct me if i'm wrong.

if you do a copy/paste from achourys' rayrc above, be sure to remove
the space " " in front of "$lookup" otherwise it can give you some errors.

greets,
maxwater
