Mental Ray

Mental Ray is a rendering software used in 3D computer graphics to create realistic images from digital models. It simulates how light interacts with objects and materials, producing accurate shadows, reflections, and textures. By calculating complex light behavior, Mental Ray helps artists and designers generate lifelike visuals for movies, product design, and visual effects. Essentially, it acts as a high-quality “lighting engineer” for digital scenes, transforming raw 3D data into polished, photorealistic images.
