Rendering substance in mentalray


                              First you need to download substance bonus tools. Click here to download it. Make sure to choose correct version. After you download you can read the user guide that includes how to install the package. If you install correctly, you can see a new tab in Maya shelf.

                             Open hypershade and select the substance. Then click Convert the current Substance network to mentalRay ready network.

                           
                                  Then you can see a dialog box. Turn on gamma correction and click Create mentalRay shader network.

                                 After that assign the newly created mia material to your object. Now you can render in mental ray.

    1. Hi Rishabh. Maya 2012 has so many bugs. Delete 2012 folder in the My documents-> Maya directory. Then load the substance plugin again. Still you cannot render in mentlal ray, send me your file.
