mental ray problem after update to SP1(maya 2016)
Can you help me, please.
I have installed SP1 for Maya 2016 and Mental Ray for SP1, both via Application Manager.
But now there is no Mental Ray to choose.
In Maya in plug-in Manager there is no mayatomr.
And on starting maya output window say: plugin path invalid.
Also Script Editor say:
// Error: file: D:/Installed Progs/Autodesk/Maya 2016/Maya2016/scripts/others/unifiedRenderGlobalsWindow.mel line 415: The renderer mentalRay is not registered yet. //
// Warning: file: D:/Installed Progs/Autodesk/Maya 2016/Maya2016/scripts/others/supportRenderers.mel line 78: The renderer "mentalRay" used by this scene, is not currently available. The Maya Software renderer will be used instead. //

You'll have to download and install the mental ray plugin for Maya 2016 SP1.

but I still have a question:
On image you can see that Mental Ray for Maya SP1 is installed;
so now which of mental ray I must install (plugin or satellite or standalone)?

Make a backup copy of the file and change all instances of:
+ LOCALE:en_US mayatomr 3.13.1.8 <MENTALRAY_DIR>
To:
+ LOCALE:en_US mayatomr 3.13.1.8 D:\Installed Progs\Autodesk\mentalrayForMaya2016\
