Customer Reviews of Real Maya mental ray

Waste of money
This DVD is apsolute waste of money.
It's not cheap, promisses a lot, delivers nothing.
The length of the DVD is due to fact that when they
render a picture you are waiting until image is rendered.
It's like if you bought a book about painting,
and you watch on video how the paint dry...
This is just one of huge wasting of time on this DVD.
None of the work on DVD looks truly proffesional,
and the level of explanation is just like simple demo,
which is just not enough.
I haven't learned anything from this DVD, I doubt anyone
will except total begginers which might find this interesting
if they never heard of Mental ray, but they start learning
maya.

Do Not Buy This Video
Judging for the previous reviews, I thought that I had finally found a good set of Mental Ray tutorials. However, I was wrong. These tutorials more or less just graise accross the basics of mental ray and the hypershade menu. I expected a more in depth explaination of how to set up Global Illumination using Photonics and Final Gathering. They mearly give brief examples of these techniques and nothing more. Where's the examples of fine tuning and animating with GI? And then there's the Mental Ray Shader library, which they don't even mention. Probably the most powerful feature of the software. ...

Mesmer bottles up something sweeter than Yoohoo!
This DVD content ranges from junior to professional levels in
harnessing the power of mental ray.
With this fast-paced video I was able to use the mental ray renderer more efficiently in Maya.
The crew at Mesmer's unique teaching style when disscussing mental
ray concepts are easily applied to the mental ray renderer using
other 3d packages like Softimage's XSI. All in all, a definite
must-have for taming mental ray in Maya.
