Mental Ray for Maya 2016 Extension 1 + Service Pack 6

I just installed Maya 2016 and the desktop asked me install an update (Maya 2016 Extension 1), which I did. Now I can't find Mental Ray renderer in the list of plug-ins even after re-installing it.

 

I just wanted to ask what version of Mental ray works perfectly with MAYA 2016 EXTENSION 1 + SERVICE PACK 6?

 

Thank you

You should try updating to 2018, is a much better version now and comes with Arnold that is way more advanced and easy to use, mental Ray no longer exists so I think it would be a waste of your time trying to learn it at this point.

You just need to install the correct MentalRay for the service pack you have installed.  You can find the one you need here.

No need to upgrade your Maya just for this.
