Mental Ray Plugin rendering problems

Barnstable

So, just recently, a scene that's been rendering just fine in Maya's Mental Ray plugin, will no longer render.

It will only show up as a wire frame snapshot whether I push the render button, the IPR Render or anything else. I tried to make another camera and shoot through that in the hopes that it was some glitch with the camera itself, but it won't even let me render any other camera (perspective, side, etc..). I tried importing the scene into another scene and the problem still persisted. I've been trying everything I can think of and I'm all out of ideas on how to fix this.

Help please. This is getting pretty annoying.

Bump.

Can I get some help with this?

I'm literally stuck and not able to render this scene until I can figure out how to fix this.

Hmm.. thats a toughie. I've never had this problem.. lots and lots of problems with MR but never this one.. first and foremost check and see if contour rendering is disabled. Optimize the scene, try setting render threads to 0, try flushing the memory.... If that doesn't work try exporting just the objects as another ma file, open a new scene and import them into a new scene..


Also run the MR diagnostics to see if there are any glaring errors there..

I'll keep thinking, till then try those suggestions..

this is pretty basic and you've probably already tried it, but load/unload MR from
Plug-In Manager? (recently had Maya just fail to load MR for no apparent reason, so
I reset it...perhaps it will work for you?)
