Greg-

We had a bit of downtime, so I thought I'd tackle something I've never done. We've always generated .mi files, but I'd like to try using our standalone licenses and simply submit .ma files. But it's not working. 

I couldn't find that docs for doing this method. thx.

	Looks like 'ray.exe' is not in your PATH.

	You probably need to set these variables:

    # Uncomment for Mentalray Standalone
    $ENV{MI_ROOT}    = "c:/program files/alias/mentalray3.4";
    $ENV{MI_BIN_DIR} = "$ENV{MI_ROOT}/bin";
    $ENV{PATH}       = "$ENV{MI_BIN_DIR};$ENV{PATH}";

	..in the WINDOWS environment variable section at the top of your
	"submit-maya8.pl" script. Change the path as needed for your
	mental ray standalone install.

	Actually, this is the mi <-> ma thread you're in.
	You want to follow the other thread entitled "Re: Rush + Autodesk Cleaner?"

	The cleaner thread has remained online.
