Hi,
I saw some awesome work with the l_glass shader and wanted to install it. Unfortunately, I ve got some problems. I use maya on the Mac and followed your installation explanation (l_glass 2 beta). Nevertheless, maya (mr) gave out a error message when I wanted to render and I don't know why. I followed your explanataion:
"MAYA:
l_glass.dll {Maya program dir}\mentalray\lib
l_glass.mi {Maya program dir}\mentalray\include
AEl_glassTemplate.mel {projects dir}\maya\6.0\scripts
render_l_glass.xpm {projects dir}\maya\6.0\prefs\icons
Add two lines to maya.rayrc (mentalray-directory):
link "{MAYABASE}/lib/l_glass.{DSO}"
...
mi "{MAYABASE}/include/l_glass.mi""
But when I tried to render anything, then mental ray didn't start rendering. The script editor told me that it can't find ..../lib/l_glass.so
I realized that in my lib/ directory all files have the ending .so and the file attached to this shader has the ending .dll. Do I have the wrong file? i changed the ending to .so but then it said, that it would be a wrong file.
Can someone help me? I really would like to get that to run.
Thanks.
