no mental ray in render settings
 

when i was working on a tutorial to make a Glass shader and i was just about to make some render engine settings i went up to choose Mental ray in the "render using" scroll window. but it wasnt there!

i know i havent done any weird new settings and ive also reinstalled everything but still it isnt there.. why?

Very easy ;) that should help:
go to window -> settings/preferences -> plug-in manager and then select Mayatomr.mll
That happens sometimes :(

ok i will try that.. right now im trying to reinstall it again cuz i had some wierd files in the Mentalray folder, i think it was a Skin shader that didnt work.. if the reinstall doesnt work i will try it ty for the quick answer

try searching the forums b4 u post. these r common issues.
rtm too.
