1. Set the verbosity level for messages from the translation process by using the MEL command as outlined in Export Verbosity. During a render, messages similar to the following are output to the Script Editor:

   // Info: (mental ray) : loading startup file C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya 2009/mentalray/maya.rayrc

   // mental ray for Maya: using rayhosts file C:/Documents and Settings/user1/My Documents/maya//maya.rayhosts

   Additionally, error messages from mental ray for Maya are printed to the Maya Output Window.
