Just received a report that Maya 2014 doesn't come pre-packaged with the Mental Ray plugin, it's a separate install now. [Thanks to Jeff Yana for this info]. * * * I found more info here: http://elementalray.wordpress.com/2013/04/12/maya-2014-mental-ray/ Quoting the relevant bit, in case that link goes stale: """ With the release of Maya 2014 comes changes to the integration of mental ray. Foremost is that mental ray is now a truly separate plug-in installation. This means Autodesk can support multiple versions with bug fixes in a release for Maya. """ Perhaps also of use, be sure the plugin is enabled in the plugin manager: http://www.digitaltutors.com/forum/showthread.php?36176-Maya-2014-no-mental-ray-problem http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/Installation-Hardware-OS/How-to-enable-Mental-Ray-in-Maya-2014/td-p/4329684 If the mray plugin doesn't show in the list, be sure the mental ray plugin option has been /installed/, as it's no longer part of the main Maya distro in 2014, according to the report. |
