Default Re: Viz 2008 / Mental Ray

Well, I guess I shouldn't be that drastic. But I will deffinately dangle my feet a little. I am just SOOO tired of fighting the memory issues with vray lately. Ya it renders super quality, with lightning speed, and great material options at low resolution. But every scene we do that has a lot of different materials, furniture, different lighting fixtures, etc. has memory issues when it's time to render a 3000px image. I just miss the days when I first started using Vray wihout getting errors. Who knows maybe I just need to uninstall it and go back to an older version. It just seems a shame to leave all those cool new materials behind if I did backstep. I guess that's what I would be doing by switching to Mray, but it's worth exploring when it's free and all.
