Hi , i just wanted to inquire wether or not mantra is actually being used by artists /studios for final renders , or do most people use external renderers like rman/3delight only with houdini .
I am presently learning the different render engines that mantra offers , i was just wondering if it's worth it as far as it's practical application is concerned .
Please advise .

There's some good info on the odforce Wiki if you haven't checked it out. Productions using Mantra [odforce.net]

That page hasn't been updated in forever! In short, yes, many feature film facilities use Mantra as a primary renderer.

thanks , i guess i should continue investing time in it then .
