Oi galera, vou postar aqui a lista de bugs do Mental Ray e do V-Ray para vocês verem a diferença.
Quem tiver a lista de bugs do Final Render, Maxwell, Fryrender, Brazil Render, postem aqui também para gente comparar.
Lista de bugs do Mental Ray 3.5
(*)The shader does not work with mental ray core version prior to 3.3, this is due to a newer and required version of the KD tree.
- Solução: Use 3.3 or later.
(*)SDS (SubDivision Surfaces) are not supported yet
- Solução: Convert to polymeshes or NURBS.
(*)Network parallelism is not supported yet.
(*)Absorption and scattering coefficients may require 4 or more digit numbers after the comma, some OEM UI's show only 3 digits in regular field numbers. However, extra digits are interpreted correctly.
(*)Objects should have an entering and exiting surface in order to store photons correctly, open surfaces/meshes/sds (when supported) may cause storage problems.
- Solução: Model with an eye on the storing process, think volumetrically.

(*) The parameters of VRayMtlWrapper did not have proper names in Track View;
(*) If the primary GI engine was light cache or photon map but GI is turned off, standard materials would render black;
(*) VRayMtl materials with low glossiness inside a VRayBlendMtl could produce polygonal artifacts on shadow/light boundaries;

(*) A low-dynamic range 3dsmax frame buffer was used even when saving to a high-dynamic range file format (.exr, .hdr etc);
(*) Problems when rendering animations in DR mode with light cache as both primary and secondary engine;
(*) Small rectangle area lights could produce artifacts for points lying close to the light plane;
(*) Somewhat better memory management for proxies and dynamic meshes;
(*) Crashes with VRayFur on animated objects when using motion blur;
(*) Incorrect environment color with several VRayLights in "dome" mode;
(*) "Crop" render mode with the V-Ray VFB did not work for animations;
(*) Sporadic crashes when using the "Camera Map Per Pixel" texture inside V-Ray materials (VRayMtl, VRayLightMtl etc);
(*) VRayBmpFilter did not always display its bitmap texture successfully;
(*) VRayBmpFilter could produce invalid colors;
(*) Photon mapping could produce wrong GI on transparent surfaces;
(*) Crashes with interpolated glossy reflections/refractions if there is only 1 sample in the interpolation map;
(*) Irradiance map produced incorrect results when used with VRayLight in "Light portal" mode;
(*) Faceting on low-poly geometry when using anisotropic reflections with UV-channel mapping;
(*) Incorrect sampling with gamma color correction when some of the pixel RGB components is zero;
(*) In 3dsmax 9, VRayMtlWrapper, VRay2SidedMtl, VRayOverrideMtl could crash when reset from the Material Editor;
(*) Some V-Ray materials (e.g. VRayMtl) did not reset when the "Reset" button from the Material Editor was used;
(*) The contents of the V-Ray VFB was not cleared regardless of the "Previous render" option in the System rollout;
(*) V-Ray sun could produce brighter highlights than is correct when its size multiplier is much greater than 1.0;
(*) Banding with very small spherical VRayLights;
(*) SSS with VRayMtl did not work properly with intersecting refractive objects;
(*) Problems with dome light and matte/shadow materials with GI on;
(*) VRayBlendMtl in additive mode produced incorrect alpha channel;
(*) VRayHDRI did not free is memory with the freeSceneBitmaps() MaxScript command;
(*) Crash when rendering disconnected Particle Flow events;
(*) In 3dsmax 9, clearing a texture in VRayMtl could cause a crash, if the texture is visible in the viewport;
(*) In 64-bit 3dsmax, the Dynamic raycaster memory spinner was still limited to 4096 MB;
(*) In some cases VRayFur did not render properly;
(*) Wrong mapping coordinates for VRayFur when motion blur was enabled;
(*) Incorrect velocity G-Buffer channel due to camera movement for scaled cameras;
(*) Distortion map for VRayToon had no effect;
(*) Light cache prefiltering ignored GI surface IDs;
(*) VRayLight's appeared in reflections for objects excluded from the lights;
(*) Light cache files saved on 32-bit machines did not load properly on 64-bit machines and vice-versa;
(*) When rendering a high-resolution image with the "Hilbert" region sequence, V-Ray could crash;
(*) A light which had "Affect diffuse" option off still contributed to the diffuse lighting channels;
(*) When mass-editing V-Ray object or light properties, greyed out properties with different values across the nodes were incorrecly applied to the nodes;
(*) Area VRayShadows with Box type did not respect the rotation of the light;
(*) DR render slaves crashed when photometric Linear or Area lights were contained in the scene;
(*) VRayFastSSS displayed black in the viewports;
(*) VRImg2Exr tool gave error when converting large .vrimg files rendered in "region" mode;
(*) MaxScript error when adding VRayCausticsMap to the RTT bake elements;
