Default Re: Why Mental Ray?

This is almost like a religion kind of question.

I think BEFORE A&D materials, it was v-ray hands down.
When A&D Version 1 came out, it started getting attention.
Now with a few (quick but) multiple releases under it's belt, I think it can hold it's own with v-ray, and is a question of skill-and-experience versus software capability at this point.

What I like about Mental Ray is that, if I make a model in Max 2008 with Mental Ray, and give it to someone with Max 2008, it'll run. I mean, I don't need to worry about a plug-in version (which v-ray is) - it'll just work out of the box.
