My apologies, I didn't expect this reaction... PICT is an early 1980s 8-bit-only format designed to go with the old Macintosh QuickDraw, and I hadn't encountered people choosing that over the more popular 8-bit formats. I don't think mental ray supports it. I wouldn't see myself using it except for making icons or splash screens for OS 9.0 applications resources.
