Notemental ray shaders appear in the Browser only if the currently active renderer supports them.
The Shader List shaders provide an interface for constructing mental ray shader lists. A shader list combines the effect of
multiple shaders: Each shader is called in turn, the first one's output being treated as input to the next, and so on.
Interface
- [list of shaders]
-
Shows the names of the shaders in the list. Highlight a shader's name to alter its position in the list, or to access its
parameters.
Each active shader in the list is called in order, from top to bottom.
- Up
-
Moves the selected shader up in the list.
- Down
-
Moves the selected shader down in the list.
- Add Shader
-
- Remove Selected
-
Removes the selected shader from the list.
Selection group
- On
-
When on, the shader is active. When off, the shader is inactive and isn't called. You can use this toggle to disable a shader
without removing it from the list entirely.
- Shader button
-
Shows the name of the currently selected shader. Click the button to view that shader's parameters in the Material Editor.
