Mental Ray 2015 sp5 plug-in disappeared

Anonymous — Sun, 08 Mar 2015 12:01:27 GMT

hi, i have a problem with mental ray 2015 sp5 plug-in. after i updated maya and mental ray, the mental ray plug-in doesn't show in the rendering options.

I tried uninstalling/reinstalling, editing the the file path "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Autodesk Shared\Modules\Maya\2015\mentalray.mod" and resetting the program preferences with no use. please somebody tell me how to fix that.

Also Maya always chooses to use the integrated Intel HD Graphics card although i have NVIDIA one. How can i force Maya to use NVIDIA instead of Intel.

Thanks in advance. 🙂

Are you saying that the Mental Ray plugin is not showing up in the plug-in manager? Window->Settings/Preferences/Plug-in Manager. It should look like the picture below...
