Help Needed in rendring .mi files on maya 8.5/2008

[jagadish.kumar]

hello ...

i am a bunch of .mi files... and i have to get them to render .. it is possible in Maya2009
"Its just a matter of specifying the file name in the renderProxy attr in the shape node "
But can :confused: " This be done in Maya 8.5/2008 " by some means...
I tried using mip_binary_proxy to read my .mi file but its giving a
error...
"wrong version/file"... :eek:
(i think binary_proxy cant read .mi files other than that it has written)

any help would be greatly appreciated :D:D


thanks..
