no, not a question about rendering, but the renderer. i have maya and 3dsmax, can i implement mental ray into both, because i've come to like it.
i noticed in the 3dsmax plug manager, it has a mental ray file, but i cant use it as my renderer. how can i set this up:thumbsup:

thx

Why dont you wait for max 6. It has Mental Ray integrated.
The current version of Maya also ships with a copy of mental ray.

I heard rumours that Mental ray 2.1 and Max 4/5 doesn't go well together. But Mental Ray should be a part of 3dsmax 6 (and should work without any problems).
