mental ray Release Notes

Version 3.1.3.16

Distribution Package

This release includes the following programs and documents:

Note: mental ray 3.1 is compatible with the shader.h files provided with mental ray 3.0, and can execute shaders written for mental ray 3.0. This may generate an error message if the declaration files for these shaders specify that they require version 3.0, but the error can be ignored.

mental ray for Linux is tested on RedHat 6.0, 7.0, and 7.2. RedHat 5.x and other older distributions may be unable to run mental ray. RedHat 7.1 has a pthread library problem and should not be used. On SGI machines, mental ray requires IRIX 6.5, but also works on old IRIX 6.2, 6.3, or 6.4 machines provided that the appropriate Posix threads (pthreads) libraries are installed. Future versions will support only IRIX 6.5 or later; 6.2-6.4 are long obsolete and unsupported by SGI.
