Mental Ray for Cinema 4D :).

I guess no one uses C4D so they're not that concerned about it. I think it's about time Mental Ray gave them some notice.

Part of the reason I've been migrating to Maya is the Mental Ray rendering engine and it's shaders. Some sweet stuff going on there.

It's funny though that most of the guys doing stills these days are using VRay with 3ds max, which really ....ha. Sorry. I'm not falling for that one. Good for them though.

I've played with Vray and I just don't like it. Some people are doing wonders with it for still shots but , meh, not for me. I'm still not convined. Maybe when I start seeing videos done with it, it'll sway my opinion. Otherwise, Mental Ray has a proven track record with video.

Or something like that.
 
It's definitely nice that they're bringing it over. Always good to have options, though from looking at their site I don't see any huge advantage over just using AR. The real power MR is the shaders, but you can't make MR shaders in C4D, you need mental mill for that, which is another $495 and another program to learn. It doesn't have the deep integration that Maya has with the node based editor, etc. I assume Softimage is the same since it was specifically built around MR.
