Mental ray 3ds max 20185/31/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Had to do that a few times back in the day. If you are a student, can you not just install latest 3DSMax, even 30 day trial and render using Arnold? Quite sure there was a Mental Ray to Arnold material conversion process to aid this.ĭoes Max+Mental crash on a simple scene like a spinning teapot?If no, start a new max scene and import/merge your crashing project into it. I don't use Max any more but I thought Mental Ray was always a CPU renderer. I'm definetely not familiar enough with the software to try something like that). I've tried every possible fix I found on the web, but it seems that unless I render without using the GPU (which is likely to damage my laptop if I leave it rendering an high quality scene for hours due to the high temperatures of the cpu) I can't render without using Mental Ray (which our professor requires and despite HUNDREDS of complaints, she is not willing to negotiate.).Ĭan anyone help me in any way? I will fail this exam if I don't provide the render as requested (I also have to provide the whole project folder, so I think she might notice if I try to cheat. The professor gave us the the installation file of Mental Ray, although the "Nvidia Professional Application Manager" that was installed alongside the renderer clearly states that it's missing a license for both Mental Ray and Iray (although Iray works for some reason). ![]() I'm using 3ds Max 2018 on (what I suppose is) the last version that supported Mental Ray before it was discontinued. Hi, I'm an interior design student and for some reason our professor is obsessed with Mental Ray and wants us to use outdated software that crashes on 80% of our computers when trying to render. ![]()
