Re: Why is Maya the standard when it lacks basic math nodes?

I don't know if it's related , but there is a plugin specifically addressing various interop issues & stability of MR in Maya core-cg.com < One of the key reasons that the developers at Core-CG believe that Maya users have been having a less than placid experience with Mental Ray is due to the poor communication between Maya and the renderer. Certain areas of translation between the two programs are either faulty or just getting plain lost, the consequences being that shaders breaking, and longer than necessary rendering are a natural occurrence that leave artists frustrated and having to find work-arounds that are not primarily apparent to the beginner. MentalCore is built to stabilize and enhance the bridge between these two popular software packages that has been so desperately missed. > (..standard..)

I also cant load in 2014 and  2 weeks ago finished a job rendering in Mental Ray . ???
