Just installed Maya 2016, when I render in Mental Ray all maya materials look black and if I assign a mental ray material and render it’s still black and I get this error message:
// Warning: line 1: Cannot add the following items to the set since the set has restrictions on membership: polyPlane1 //
// Result: mia_material_x1SG //
// Created shader mia_material_x and assigned to the selected objects. //
any ideas?
did you update mental ray to the latest service pack? I had to dig and dig to find it. They really didn’t make it easy to find
first link on google…

exactly, the actual file will say “mental ray for maya sp5” for it in the name.
The one in the google link there I think is the original mental ray for maya installer
