We had a request from Jim...saying that he would like a forum dedicated to just mental ray for maya.

Who else would like this?

I would love this.

I am trying to think of the usefullness of such a forum/threads and the following is what I would find interesting about a mental ray forum/threads.

-some sort of FAQ about mentalray
-some links to other useful documents about MR
-maybe a small "gallery" thread, for show of problems or solutions or simply results.
-although it may a bit off, how about a part about writing shaders for mentalray (hehe, if anyone is really interested in this, im not into writing shaders but I'd love to pick up info about this)

I just started messing around with MentalRay last night. The checkboxes are well scattered through out. A forum would be great. We could all learn from each other through trial and errors.

well, I'm gonna vote "yes"...

I figure that, since I don't actually know what MentalRay is, having a deicated forum would lead me to eventually work it out and why everybody talks about it. user added image
