Hello,
Any heavy user of Mental Ray will know that the Mental Ray Renderer is no longer going to be provided by Autodesk, integrated in 3ds max. However, you will also know that Nvidia is providing Mental Ray for Free, to users who have a previous license, for one rendering node...and no batch rendering,..so still very functional, for free, for most arch. viz. needs,..if you want more nodes or batch rendering you pay a very small fee if you have an nvidia (pro-level) gpu.
That being said, Is Forest Pack planning on providing support, updates for Mental Ray going forward with 2018,...or are you going to abandon it altogether. If you do, this creates several questions one may have,...do I have to switch to V-Ray, or Keep using Max/Mental ray 2017 for as long as possible...
Please Advise...
Regards
J.W.
