hehe, after several weeks without much sleep, digging into xsi(most
exciting), reading quite some news the last days and kicking off a company
its hard to find a relaxed state of mind :)
but i will try harder.
for max users. of course they dont render with mental ray regulary.
its too expensive. max got all the renderer in the world (ok almost)
so there is no need to pay quite some bucks for MR licenses. i myself
own brazil and was quite happy. even if it has a similiar
license sheme like mr, just a lot cheaper.
but developers like splutterfish might get into trouble if mr comes
for free with max. that might be right...
ciao
