Mental Ray integrated within sketchup?

[fossa]

Does anyone know of any plans to integrate MR within sketchup? I haven't been over to the Mental Images site yet, I figure someone here will know or at least comment on it.

Never mind. I should have visited the Mental Images site first. Looks like their business model would require Google to bundle MR with Sketchup. I don't see that happening, and that is probably a good thing.

I would love to see Mental Ray for SketchUp. It would be possible if someone wrote a exporter from SketchUp to a .mi file. Then you could render with MR standalone or the compatible new almost interactive Holomatix Rendition.
