yeahp. its waaaay faster than rendering in mental ray. you can finish up a 5000x5000 pixel frame in at least 3 seconds.

It also looks better than the default maya render. Thanks for the tip!

your only probably going to use mental ray for films (which pixar/dreamworks and other high end animation studios use) or animated shorts well since usually they have a render farm to work with so they can get away with it

but since this is just a walkthrough you can get away probably with what Jin does i think he uses a game engine instead

Yeah unfortunately our instructor is some self proclaimed genius so basically in every session he's mostly showing off, barely teaching us anything.
