The message log for mental ray preview rendering has disappeared a few Mac OS X versions back, also due to a system change that handles console output.
Our developers are currently diving into it, to come up with a solution as soon as possible. mental ray is obviously also affected, and shows unexpected interruptions, or even gets blocked completely during rendering. But the most recent “Mavericks” update of OS X, version 10.9, seem to have changed some multi-threading behavior of the kernel.
That keeps it quite independent from frequent Mac OS X updates, which typically just touch the application levels of the operating system. What about mental ray ? Well, it is only dependent on the underlying Unix basis “Darwin” with its stable and standardized interfaces. Although it might even be more confusing to use Qt and non-Qt side by side. Switching to the “OS native” file dialog is possible in the Maya preferences. For example, the unique use of Mac specific keyboard shortcuts is puzzling, like in the “open scene” window. Even the configuration files, “Maya.env” and “maya.rayrc”, work identically. mi files that have been generated on other platforms can simply be used on the Mac. No problem, since Maya offers the same Qt user interface and experience like on Windows or Linux. + _2 ]: K ^.You love to stay on your Mac and use mental ray for Maya? Viewport 2.0 is now the default, and the legacy Default Renderer is only supported in earlier versions of the toolkit. & Z2 L4 V9 |3 U% L9 H- Version 3.0 Released. For Mental Ray and V-Ray, textures can be blended based on object occlusion, distance from the projection camera, and object facing ratio. A coverage map can be rendered to isolate which areas of the geometry are most visible to the camera.
The texture layers can be baked down to object UVs. Custom Mental Ray and V-Ray shaders included with the toolkit extend the texture blending capabilities for those renderers. V9 The layered textures can be rendered with any renderer available to Maya. Program Name: Mattepainting Toolkit v3.0 for Autodesk Maya 2014/2015
