RyanSpaulding Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Hey all - I've decided to try my hand at Mental Ray rendering as I no longer have a VRay license...but I'm having trouble finding any DVDs or video training for MR in 3DSMax. Finding it for Maya is easy...has anyone found it for 3DSMax? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Homeless Guy Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 4da hosted a Mental Ray conference in Chicago a few weeks ago. The conference was free, and was both physical and virtual. Or at least you could watch virtually, not sure if you could particiapte. Anyway, they have posted the recordings online. It might give you a lot of good insight and direction, though they don't dig real deep. http://www.max3ds.com/index.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=84#84 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAllusionisst Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Brian's stuff is good and Jeff Patton I believe will be having a series released on Gnomon Workshop soon as well as the stuff he has already done there and on Gnomonology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
