nvjulia6 Comments

mental ray for Maya 2015 SP4 is now available for download. It ships with mental ray version 3.12.1.18.

These are the most important fixes:

  • We are glad to announce that we were able to remove the cause for freezes and crashes on Mac OS X version 10.9, “Mavericks”.   To our Mac OS X users, test it out and let us know your experiences.
  • Some problems around motion blur of XGen geometry were fixed. Please, note that we still recommend setting the Motion Steps parameter to 1 when using XGen hair with motion blur (see mental ray Motion Blur Settings in the XGen Preview/Output window) . This issue will be fixed in the future.XGenMotionSteps
  • Artifacts with texture caching of Tiff textures as well as a problem with imf_copy and multiple level support were fixed.

Check out the Maya 2015 SP4 release notes inside the download for the complete list of fixes and the complete mental ray documentation

Thanks for your feedback.
