#Nvidia mental ray maya 2017 update
The subscription plan is one that hopefully will let NVIDIA update and evolve mental ray more quickly. For all users and lovers of mentalray and Mental Ray (as we used to call it lately), in case you did not notice, I have sad news: we stopped selling NVIDIA Mental Ray and the related Autodesk Maya and 3ds Max plugins end of last year. NVIDIA states “You will only need a license for production rendering – which is defined as running mental ray outside of Maya, with a headless Maya, or using the Maya 2017 Render Sequence option”. Certainly the price (free) is right for backwards compatibility. If you used mental ray in the past, as I did, to ensure that contractors always had the same rendering tools - Then, the new free version of MR will be great to make older projects compatible with newer versions of Maya again. Finally, Autodesk chose Solid Angle Arnold for a bundled renderer, and mental ray went back to NVDIA.
#Nvidia mental ray maya 2017 install
More recently, Autodesk decoupled mental ray with Maya offering it as a separate install. Installation instructions: from Control Panel -> Programs and Features uninstall NVIDIA mental ray and IRay rendering plugin for 3ds Max 2017 (its the large one, 228Mb, dont uninstall the NVIDIA mental ray and IRay feature plugin for 3ds Max 2017 which is just over 4Mb) now install the Mentalray.exe you downloaded earlier. Earlier versions of Maya had MR as part of product releases and service pack updates. This marks the first pricing structure since mental ray’s “unbundling” with Autodesk Maya. If you want to use batch, it will cost $295 for a year’s subscription. Batch render licenses however is on a subscription basis. The plugin is offered free for commercial or non-commercial work. 92 that causes significantly longer than normal rendering times while using Arnolds new GPU renderer within 3ds Max.
If you didn’t opt for the beta cycle, here is your chance to get metal ray back in Maya. NVIDIA has released Mental Ray for Maya since bringing it home. NVIDIA mental ray for Maya is a plug-in rendering solution, seamlessly integrated into Autodesk Maya.
