You can now see visual representations
of mental ray for Maya shading nodes in swatch form in Maya. For
example, you can now view mental ray for Maya custom shaders, when
the appropriate renderer (mental ray for Maya renderer) is selected.
Note
- In mental ray for Maya, swatch rendering
is supported for: material shaders, procedural texture shaders,
sample compositing shaders, and data conversion shaders.
- For interactivity, mental ray shader
swatches are rendered in low rendering quality.
- To maintain maximum performance when
IPR is running, swatches in Hypershade are
not updated.
