can't get mental ray Nodes bar in Hypershade
If you have no "Create mental ray Nodes" tab in your Hypershade, you have to add an environment variable to your Maya. env file.
Create a plain text fire named Maya.env
On Windows, save the file to "drive:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\maya\version" or "drive:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\maya ".
...
Add this line to your text file:
MAYA_MRFM_SHOW_CUSTOM_SHADERS=1
Save the file in text format as Maya.env and restart Maya if it was open. Make sure you only have one Maya.env file.
I have done all this, yet there is still no Create mental ray Nodes bar in the Hypershade window. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
