CoreCG has updated its MentalCore production rendering toolkit for Maya. MentalCore is a plugin that provides an alternative to the standard rendering workflow for Maya and Mental Ray. Designed and proven in production, MentalCore completes the shading, lighting and rendering pipeline, and is suitable for small to large productions.
This update is a big feature update, including support for Maya 2013 and more. MentalCore 1.3 features a range of new shaders, including a colour bleed SSS shader, and support for SprayTrace, Holomatix’s real-time interactive preview renderer for Maya.
New material shader allows you to blend together two separate surfaces as if they were one, by smoothly blending the shaders and normals. New light shader is a improved version of the standard physical light, it has built in support for color temperatures, color temperature presets, improved spot light attributes, and color management.
