Nvidia mental ray 3.14.1.3 for autodesk 3ds max 2017 free download

I am on Windows 10 version and everything needed is installed. Hmm, sounds strange, and we cannot reproduce. Do you have Maya installed prior to installing the plugin?

Yes, I have Maya I can tell you how to connect through email or other secrete channel. I believe you. For those who have similar trouble, we found the cause of the problem with the plugin installer, which is related to installing latest NVIDIA drivers right before the plugin.

We are working on a fix. You can use the Mental Ray plugin without a license for still frame rendering inside Maya, or the interactive Mental Ray viewport rendering. Just ignore the license window popping up each time the plugin loads. Batch rendering requires a license, which you cannot purchase any more, unfortunately.

Maya ships with Arnold nowadays which is one of three professional and industry standard renderers the other two are RenderMan and Vray. I still need to use mentalray now only because I have some old Maya scene files to brush up my rusty modeling and texturing skills. For new users of Maya I really cannot figure out any reason to stick to mentalray instead of Arnold. When it comes to education, instructors should all the more use Arnold because how can you bear the sight of teaching students out-of-date and useless stuff after charging them tens of thousands of dollars a semester?

Good day. May i ask if I can get a mental ray license so I can batch rendered my projects. Mental ray has been my rendering tool all my life and I will not trade it for anything else.

I have to use 3ds max with mental ray to render university project, and I have a Linux workstation with 64CPUs beside my Windows laptop.

My first thought was to install mental ray satellite on the workstation and then use distributed bucket rendering to speed up, but 3ds mental ray satellite seems to be available only for windows : Does anyone know if it will work if I install the Maya mental ray satellite on the Linux Workstation and then use it to distributed bucket rendering using 3ds max from my Windows laptop?

Hi Enrico. The Mental Ray Satellites are tied to the specific application. Instead, you can use the Mental Ray Standalone as a satellite. It requires a separate license though, so setting this up might get involved quickly network license server.

I need it for my Masters of Environmental Design project. Hi, we have received your request through email and are currently looking into it. Please stay tuned. No splash screen, no error message. I have a 32GB WIndows 10, 3ds max system. That is a known issue with the dated Mental Ray plugin installer. Then run the MR installer again. This operation will invalidate the NVIDIA installer file cache, so follow-up installations may need to start from scratch since the installation history is lost.

Hello- I have max and the MR plugin you provided, thank you for that. I have an opportunity to purchase a bunch of dual processor 32 core servers and would like to be able to add more than 4 if this would be possible. Thank you, Mike. Mostly just a heads up in case it gets filtered to spam or whatever, to make sure you know to look for it.

Hi there, I urgently need to Maya Batch render for my architecture project.. Thank you for your help in advance! It will stay until you remove it. You are commenting using your WordPress.

I’m not sure there’s anything stopping them doing it a second time with PhysX implementation in Max, since that’s nVidia as well.

As it turns out, for single images and sequenced singles Mental Ray for Max is still free after all. This certainly makes the transition easier, and though a few bugs still need working out, I can already see a few improvements.

I’ll likely wait a bit to spring for the full paid version, but seeing as how I already have a render farm invested in, I’ll almost certainly want to get the multi-license. I can always do a revert to Save As in the meantime anyway.

You could also read this as: if they want people to pay for it, it needs to be worth it! Arnold: I have to say, nothing from what I’ve seen with Arnold in any way makes me want to start converting all my scenes over. Or even using it for new scenes for that matter. Can anyone say exactly what would be the supposed benefit of Arnold over any other renderer? Being serious here! I’d really like to hear from someone who has equal experience with Arnold and some other software, and why they ended up using it over the others.

I get that without a deep dive into it I may be missing something key that would make it really worth learning and using. But you know, time is always in short supply, so I need to know beforehand if it’d be worth the effort. Bravo Doug! You have echoed everything I’ve been thinking since I’ve heard of this ‘benefit’ of giving us Arnold, and killing Mental Ray.

This is a huuuuge kick in the sack to Max users who have used Mental Ray over the course of the last 8 or so years it has been with Max. We are seriously considering going over to Cinema 4D due to how AD has been treating its’ users. For the users that have render farms dedicated to producing quality renders So frustrating!!! Perhaps we users should consider a class action suit? This seems like an unannounced change in terms of the subscription contract.

You’d need a strong grounds if you want to take those kinds of measures against Nvidia. This is something that you would have to talk to Nvidia about, ’cause Mental Ray is their product, not Autodesk’s. Autodesk did not make the decision for Mental Ray to become “pay-to-use”, as it was never their product. Autodesk had very little say over what was going to happen with Mental Ray, all they were able to do was make sure that the new version of Mental Ray works with 3ds Max Good point with it being Nvidia’s play Now that they own Arnold, they should have implemented the same deal NOT creating a money grab that essentially forces the hand of small studios to make the decision of whether or not to buy render engines for their render farm Cinema 4D is looking better and better Just because Autodesk “owns” Solidangle, doesn’t mean that they have full control over the company.

Just like when Microsoft bought out Mojang, I remember seeing countless Minecraft videos on Youtube some of which flooded my “recommended for you” tab because of Youtube’s broken system Well, here we are, ; Mojang is still in control of Minecraft. The company is just under ownership of Microsoft, but that does not mean that Microsoft can directly control the game.

Need to contact Autodesk? Click on the link below! Message 11 of Unfortunatly this kind of crap has long existed with Autodesk, and always will. What irks me is how they built up all this clout of Mental Ray in max for so long and all of sudden just threw us all under the bus as if it’s nothing. This is actually quite serious. Again, it was expected though from Autodesk Obviously both Autodesk and Nvidia couldn’t make a deal, so we suffer.

I’m all for giving Arnold a shot, but would have been civil if we had a warning and a transition period. Message 12 of
