Thank you for downloading Autodesk® Maya LT™ 2016 Extension 1 + Service Pack 3.
This document describes known limitations and important information about Autodesk Maya LT. It is strongly recommended that you read this document before you install this release.
This section provides important installation information about this product:
Subsurface scattering and refraction are now supported with the StingrayPBS shader.
To create a subsurface scattering effect, first set your object to opaque by selecting the Standard Base node in the ShaderFX graph and setting the Blend Mode to Opaque, then adjust the subsurface scattering effect using the Density attribute.
To add refraction, first set your object to transparent by selecting the Standard Base node in the ShaderFX graph and setting the Blend Mode to Transparent, then adjust the transparency using the Opacity attribute.
Set the Refraction attribute to a value greater than 1 to adjust the refraction in your scene.

The first time you start Maya LT, the Customer Involvement Program dialog box appears. If you choose to participate in the Customer Involvement Program, Maya LT automatically sends Autodesk information about your system configuration, what features you use most, any problems that you encounter, and other information helpful to the future direction of the product. For further information, see http://www.autodesk.com/cip.
We are able to improve the stability of Maya LT largely because of the Customer Error Reports (CERs) that users of our products submit. We thank you for taking the time to fill out these reports and ask that you include as much information as possible about what actions you were performing at the time the error occurred. These details raise the value of the report immensely and are very much appreciated by the Autodesk Maya LT Engineering team.
