Maya 5.0.1 Problem: MentalRay won't load
// mental ray for Maya 5
// Warning: mental ray for Maya: couldn't find maya.rayrc in search path, trying old-style startup file //
// Error: mental ray for Maya: couldn't find startup file //
// Error: (Mayatomr) : startup command execution failed //
// Error: initializePlugin function failed (Mayatomr) //
Did i mess something up? I'll try reinstalling a little later, I'm at a LAN Party (go ahead n say it, i'm a nerd haha), so I don't have my CD's with me. I'm pretty sure it was because of the 5.0.1 patch, though.
Oh, and I can't seem to render with the software renderer either. The batch render sits at 0% the whole time, but that could be something wrong with my scene file for it would crash earlier if I tried.
Oh and I'm sorry if this was posted in a previous thread (the fix), but I searched and couldn't find one.

// Result: 1 //
And if i try to render in software (i turn it to preview quality, 320x200, and raytracing off)..
setAttr "defaultRenderQuality.enableRaytracing" 0;
// Error: An error has occurred. Rendering aborted. //
// Error: An exception has occurred, rendering aborted. //
// Error: Free memory is low. Memory exception thrown //
Yet i have plenty of memory left, and plenty of my page file left..
then again i can render new scenes or other scenes..

Create a new scene. Import your old scene into the new scene. Create new cameras and render.
I know, it's a weird solution and doesn't give a technical answer. But I've also had those problems where the scene just wouldn't render. I did what I said to try and it worked.
If you've already solved it, we would appreciate it if you could post your solution here for anybody else with the same issues.
Thanks.

Get into your Plugin Manager in maya, then find Mayatomr.mll load it and Mental Ray will be back.
The only constant is change...
