Have you got large volumes of data that need rendering quickly? Do you need rendering software that's responsive and easy to use? If so, then perhaps mental ray® is the answer.
Features
An industry-standard 3D rendering software used in leading film, broadcast, digital publishing, and design visualisation facilities.
The distributed rendering solution works independently through a command-line interface.
A robust shading language enables you to extend your 3D software’s extensive shader library to create any desired rendering effect.
mental ray Standalone 2011 is a single executable based on mental ray 3.8 and works with Maya 2011, 3ds Max 2011, Softimage 2011, and Autodesk® 3ds Max® Design 2011 software—providing extra flexibility and simplicity for studios with mixed-application pipelines.
Benefits
The technology in Mental Ray speeds up standard and interactive rendering, and reduces the rendering lag that can hinder creative workflow.
With Multi-core-aware licensing, only one licence is needed for a multi-core processor. Saving time and money is a sure fire way to win accolades.
Mental Ray is standalone computer graphics software that’s easy to use and grounds itself in the principles of physically accurate lighting. So, with the advanced rendering power of Mental Ray technology you can output a wide range of looks, from photorealistic to stylised visualisations.
