Zh says:Maya ships with Arnold nowadays which is one of three professional (and industry standard) renderers (the other two are RenderMan and Vray). If one is serious about rendering animation, s/he should use Arnold, not mentalray.

I still need to use mentalray now only because I have some old Maya scene files to brush up my rusty modeling and texturing skills. For new users of Maya I really cannot figure out any reason to stick to mentalray instead of Arnold. When it comes to education, instructors should all the more use Arnold because how can you bear the sight of teaching students out-of-date and useless stuff after charging them tens of thousands of dollars a semester? Enrico says:Hi!I have to use 3ds max 2016 with mental ray to render university project, and I have a Linux workstation with 64CPUs (beside my Windows laptop). My first thought was to install mental ray satellite on the workstation and then use distributed bucket rendering to speed up, but 3ds mental ray satellite seems to be available only for windows: (Does anyone know if it will work if I install the Maya mental ray satellite on the Linux Workstation and then use it to distributed bucket rendering using 3ds max from my Windows laptop?

It is not compatible with the latest NVIDIA driver installer any more. As a workaround, you may remove (or rename) the cache files in the directory “. Mike says:Hello-I have max 2018 and the MR plugin you provided, thank you for that. I never had a license for MR, is it possible to get one for MR Satellite? I have an opportunity to purchase a bunch of dual processor 32 core servers and would like to be able to add more than 4 if this would be possible.
For my projects, max 2018 and mental ray are all I will need for the foreseeable future, and I really don’t want to have to learn an entirely new render system. I have tried v-ray, Arnold, and some others, and I like MR the best and it is what I know. Thank you,Mike.
