I know optimizing MR is highly related to the scene properties. I do
however
think that there could be some more intuitive ways (without reading the 30
page Cookbook
that came out for XSI 1.5 each time) of helping users to analyze and
optimize the MR settings,
maybe based on somekind of wizard setup that lets you fill in the info
that you know about
your scene and then having the wizard give you some qualified guesses? If
you give enough
info on what your scene looks like it might be able to at least give u a
hint on what settings should
be punched up our down and with what increments to fine tune? I find it
quite tedious doing all
this manually at the moment. I guess if you sit with this kind of stuff
everyday you get a hang
of it but for me who uses it sporadically it´s damn hard to get fast
optimized MR settings.

Re: MentalRay render presets (for Max)

What's this got to do with XSI anyway?
That text just looks like vague promotional jargon.
