SprayTrace 1.5 Settings Panel - Camera Settings and Material Overrides
Choose a camera from your Maya scene and control the size of your preview by dragging the view or specifying the pixel dimensions in SprayTrace. Override the scene materials with clay shaders to understand the scene lighting better.
SprayTrace 1.5 Settings Panel - Lighting Overrides
Use lighting overrides to use SprayTrace like a super viewport without the overhead of the scene lighting to render. Ideal for texturing work.
SprayTrace SprayTrace 1.5 Settings Panel - Additional Overrides
Turn on and off reflections, refractions, ray depth. You can make the scene faster to preview to get work done faster, or learn about the ideal settings for your final render.

SprayTrace 1.2 - on 12 cores!
We tested SprayTrace v1.2 on a render node from Workstation Specialists (www.workstationspecialist.com). Even though the render unit had no 3D graphics card, we got Maya and SprayTrace running on it, connected to it over remote desktop and had a play. SprayTrace was very fast on this spec machine compared to our usual 4 core demo machine. So if you thought SprayTrace looked fast before, look at it fly on a 12 cores!
SprayTrace 1.2 - new support for MentalRay native IBL lighting
SprayTrace 1.2 now supports the image based lighting hiddne away from Maya. This can be accessed with string options on the miDefaultOptions in Maya or it can also be exposed in great mel scripts freely available on the web. Image based lighting never looked better in Maya than with this new lighting option.... and now SprayTrace provides a fast preview of this image based lighting too!

SprayTrace 1.2 and new HDR Light Studio Live plug-in
SprayTrace 1.2 introduces support for a new HDR Light Studio plugin for SprayTrace. This means Maya MentalRay users can design image based lighting in real-time directly onto their Maya scenes.
SprayTrace v Maya IPR
A short video simply showing how Maya IPR performance compares with SprayTrace. Sorry if its boring on the IPR part, this is the whole point really... its not that interactive. When you see this video, I think you will truly understand what Spraytrace is all about. It will save a lot of time!!!
