Mental Ray download
 

Hello,

I read that you'll need to download Mental Ray 1.5.1 for Maya 4.5 unlimited. Is it true that Mental Ray in not already in the 4.5 pakache? but only in the 5.0

AliasWavefront redisigned their website so the link to download Mental Ray was giving an error page.
I searched the whole site but could't find where to download Mental Ray.

Can someone give me some advice?

Thanks!!!

error on page

But there is something wrong with it!

I can download it... Can I tell something else? ;)
Uhh, yeah...

Got another probnlem, with the installation. He just creates a new folder somewhere else, not in the Maya 4.5 directory. So, I changed that, but it is not included in Maya... :(
Maybe it´s cause IRe-installed Win XP, but did not Re-install Maya?

yes, you should reinstall maya after reinstalling winxp. this way mr knows where it has to install itself ...

Can us cheapskate PLErs use MR? :)

Re: error on page
 

there is nothing wrong with it. i just downloaded it from the page and got it to install just fine. maybe you mistyped your username or password ??

hope that helps

nope, only works with commercial maya. in ple5 the maya rendering will be disabled - so unfortunatley not for ple users. :(

edit: i meant mental ray rendering is disabled in ple, not the maya default renderer (limited to 1024x768 w/ watermark).

Are you serious? No one using PLE5 can render at all?!? How the heck are you meant to learn if you can't render?

mental ray rendering is disabled, vector render is disabled, and i not sure if hardware render works. but the default maya renderer works (with a watermark).

p.s.: opps i just see that i put maya rendering in the other post - my bad :D

*slaps Ducky for making him worry*
