MR. |
| lightEngine3d |
Mark Davies' site, containing Mental Ray, Renderman and Maya shaders.
(RayDiffuse & SubScatter) |
| mrClasses
|
Gonzalo Garramuno's excellent source code collection.
Mental Ray the ILM way, this is really serious stuff. |
| mrLiquid |
Another release from Gonzalo: an open source MR for
Maya replacement package, that rhymes with Colin Doncaster's Liquid.
"mrLiquid is a tool for translating Maya scenes into another
renderer's scene description. Currently it provides support for
mental ray and provides a very direct level of compatability with
maya2mr."

| Paolo Berto |
Paolo came from Alias, went to Mental Images, knows a lot about
the MR for Maya translator, has useful information on his site, and
he is friendly guy: feel free to ask him. :) |

Pavel Ledin aka Puppet |
Lots of Mental Ray shaders. Part of the page is Russian
but its being translated to english. |
| XSI Base |
This is not really MR related but since Softimage has quite a history
with MR most shaders appear on XSIBase first. |
