Why Mental Ray doesn't have as many or as good looking tutorials as vRay?
>>

Because for the longest time VRay was easier to use for freelance artists, while mentalray was mainly used for films and VFX where it is much more powerful under professional hands.

Also
>Those floating table legs
>Those plastic looking jugs

Here's some great blogs for mentalray tuts and tips.

I think the legs may have like some protective caps on them, but yeah it looks a bit floaty. Also the table wouldn't be stable without a support beam in the middle. The rug is crap with those wrinkles making it look like very light cloth and the coffee table is going through it making it look like its 'legs' are bunch of thin sticks digging into the carpet. plus you can see the corner of the skybox in the middle window unless that's some odd refraction, skybox image looks a bit stretched horizontally. floor looks like it's not meant as a floor material but no biggie. actual render quality is good, but people should really stop using huge wall posters for added realism, makes the interior design look cheap.
All in all, I'm not saying the image is bad.

I think it's because vRay is better, faster, easier to learn, and not shit like mRay

>>504761
No, are you? Look at the tips of that table's legs, they are not contacting with the ground but just slightly floating above, they placed it too quickly. The shadow's aren't contacting fully.
>>
>>504764
or its because Vray users are spoonfed retards who can't figure out a single shit by themselves and they need special assistance for babby tier material editing.
>>
>>504766
Who cares as long as the end result is much better than whatever mRay can shit out?
>>
>>504767
It's literally indifferentiable, considering they have the exact same nodes.
