Same goes for Mental Ray. Both require too many tweaks to get to final. Also, Mental Ray implementation is atrocious in 3ds Max and especially in Maya. I’m very excited about the HairFarm and FumeFX optimizations in 3.5 as I have just started to utilize HairFarm and noticed that Mental Ray doesn’t play nice with HairFarm (no surprise there).

Mental ray… way slower than FR, and too large a learning curve to get to pro results. I can run circles around anyone using renderers other than FinalRender – period. I do final shots in one day all the time… that is from layout to final comp. This is due to being able to dial in a look within minutes that renders in less than 1 min per frame. It’s a tweakfest using the others and they simply are NOT AS FAST as FinalRender. My only wish is that hair and fur(HairFarm) would play nicely with FR.

I am glad most people use Vray and mental ray, because then they produce final results slower than I can, which gives me an edge.

Now if only Fume could be rendered in vray.

You want to change from Mental to FinalRender? how can we test it then?
