Mental Ray Codes
Many times i have found myself looking for what a mental ray codes mean and again the book is not near me, therefore i just put down the most important ones so i can have a look any time thru internet… now open to everybody so you can also have this handy reference.
When using mental ray in verbose mode you can pipe the output to do further analysis later on and tune your scenes to get the very best of your systems. From memory management to network performance this can be the difference between hours of render or few minutes.
