Mayatomr.mll 2016 will not work when browsed for via the plug-in manager

[Anonymous]

When I browse for the mental ray plug-in and select it; the red module error displays below.

 I have reinstalled maya, the service pack 5, and the Mayatomr.mll files several times over. The red erros pops up when browse (manually) for the plug in that is saved on my C: drive; when I click it to load in the plug window, it returns the red module error. Is there a soloution to get the plug-in to work effectively?

Thanks

Hi!

 

Mayatomr.mll 2016 is not compatible with Maya 2017.

Awesome, would you happen to have a link to the plugin that is compatible w/maya 2017?

Thanks

Hi!

Mental Ray is not included anymore since Maya 2017.

Also Mental Ray has been discontinued.

Thank you for sharing that information; I decided to go with the Arnold renderer. It works very well and renders scenes very quickly.
