Parameter

Description

SI_MI_TRACER2

 

Location of the mental ray 2.1 rendering software raytracer. The -verbose option determines how mental ray outputs information. Possible values are:

on = verbosity on

off = verbosity off

6 = maximum verbosity

For distributed renders, you can set the verbosity for each machine in the .ray2hosts file. For example:

Huey -verbose 6

Dewey -verbose on

Louie -verbose off

Slave messages are redirected to the master and logged in the file specified by the MR_VERBOSE_FILE environment variable (Windows NT only).

Windows NT: The default is %SI_LOCATION%\mental_ray\bin\ray2.exe.
