Just installed 2015 ultimate after upgrading from the Maya /XSI Suite. Doing some work in maya and I cant load mental ray in the plug in manager. I get an error. The Specified procedure could not be found. (mayatomr) I do see that MentalrayforMaya2015/plugins/mayatomr.mll is in the right location. I also cant load in 2014 and 2 weeks ago finished a job rendering in Mental Ray . ???
