Hi Carsten,

can't you render it with Maya's own render or is it because other stuff requires Mental Ray?

otherwise I don't know if you have read this tip from MJ... -->

Mental Ray for Maya is still in it's early stages. Hopefully will see something implamented for the next release after Maya 5. They have added alot in Maya 5.
