Originally posted by Chirone mental ray is in xsi too, its a stand alone application (i dont mean to sound rude, i'm just a little confused, isnt it the same in xsi as it is in maya? i haven't seen the settings for it in xsi but i thought they would be the same) i think russel realises that MR is also in XSI. if i understand correctly, i think he is just looking for a maya / mental ray expert to act as a moderator on his site.
