The software is production-proven and provides enhancements to the standard rendering workflow using Autodesk Maya with NVIDIA mental ray. Suitable for any size studio, MentalCore supports Maya 2011 or Maya 2012 and Windows, Linux and Mac OS X systems, and hosts a user-friendly interface and robust feature set, including a quick access to all global settings and render passes, node-based render pass system, dedicated shader library, support for a linear color workflow, support for ambient occlusion transparency, Python API, and compatibility with a stand-alone version of mental ray...
