Talk:Mental ray

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I understand that the name of the product is "mental ray", but surely it becomes "Mental ray" at the beginning of a sentence, like any other word beginning with a lower-case letter. What is Wikipedia's policy on this?

If mental images do not permit their product to be capitalised (although they are not at liberty to enforce changes to the rules of English grammar), then perhaps it would be wise to avoid using it at the beginning of a sentence (for example, replacing "mental ray is..." with "The product mental ray is..."). — Paul G 09:38, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

You are right. They don't get to change the English language! Silversmith Hewwo 23:07, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Why does the article contain this crap about mental ray vs PRMan (not PRman!)? This is Wikipedia and not some marketing ad or a magazine article comparing renderers. There are so many features where PRMan has a first that even mentioning the one where mental ray had an implementation earlier (and not first, there were others long before) seems silly at best. Even more so in the first paragraph of an article. If this article is seriously about mental ray, it should talk about mental ray, not what features other products had when or why. Read: I very much suggest to take this entire sentence out.
