editing the mr file for max

[siliconbauhaus]

I'm getting into using MR and I recall that there were several things that needed editing in order for max to use certain mental ray shaders.

Is there an example of this knocking around?

cheers

Do you mean about how in some of the *.mi files there are some shaders that are turned off?
Some of them have a line that says:
"hidden"
in the shader definition.
Jeff Patton shows an example here of how to turn them back on:

That's because MR have been implemented in max with strong kicks in the ...

So instead of suppressing functions unavailable in the first versions of max, they hide them. :rolleyes:
