mental ray global surface approximation

[atzfratz]

does it work for you if you assign the surface approximation by hand.
its under windows-rendering-mental ray- approximation editor i think.
There you can make approximations for single surfaces. if that works i can give you my script to assign multiple surfaces at once.

thank´s atzfratz, the script would be a great help, cause it´s exactly what i was doing right now, assigning 1 by 1 to all the nurbs surf... but i have a lot of them :surprised

don´t know why but if i assigned to the object it works...

if you could email-me (romeu_romeo@hotmail.com) or post a link to your script... it would be a real time-killer

thanks a lot...

Its very basic, so heres how it works

-Open up the approximation editor
-Create a new approximation
-Then Select all Surfaces, selecting groups is enough BUT the last selection must be a nurbs surface. (you could simply create a nurbssphere and delete it later when you have grouped everything nice)
-Then select the Approximation in the Approximation Editor and execute the script.

You can open the script editor to see the progress but it should not take long. hope it helps :) if you have problems let me know.
