Maya 2008 MR issue

PrimalOrB · 28-06-2008, 02:05 PM

Hey

I just recently upgraded from Maya 8.5 to Maya 2008, and also updated from Windows XP MCE to Windows Vista

Now Mental Ray in Maya 2008 is having issues with simple materials from my older scenes. An example is a simple semi-transparent object. Taking a normal blinn and putting a white/black alpha image into the transparency slot, the render will come out solid (where in 8.5 it would work correctly)

Would these issues be centered around the new Maya or the new Windows do you think?

I do have a separate hard drive so I could install XP again on that to use Maya, but would reeeeeally prefer to just keep that hard drive as storage.

Anyway, if anyone has any idea, please let me know, very frustrating because I cant get a few simple things like this to work!!!
