Yes. Map files are essentially a memory dump of the internal image format that mental ray uses.

Subject: 64 vs. 32 bit with map files?

I am seeing a difference in rendering a scene with a big map file. On 32
bit it renders normally, on 64 bit it renders all blurry.

Do I need to make the map for the 64 bit machine ON the 64 bit machine?

Thanks,
