In January 2010 I will be teaching a course at FXPHD. This is a 10 week course about mental ray and rendering. More details and registeration at http://www.fxphd.com/courses
At SIGGRAPH 2009 I will be teaching an online masterclass entitled "Giant Robots: Using mental ray shaders to integrate CG elements into real scenes". Here's the "trailer" :)
This is a set of simple test renders done using FumeFX rendering within mental ray. [Check out www.AfterWorks.com for more info and availability of the FumeFX plugin for mental ray.]
