Ok, now someone has to know this...
I'm trying to create a new shader with MEL. I can do it, but it's just a hack using something output from "echo all commands", which doesn't seem like it's the correct command, plus it doesn't show up in the reference guide. What I've found so far, is this:
hyperShadePanelCreate "shader" lambert
...Which will create a new shader, however it won't return the name. I'm looking for something that will work like this:
string $newShader = `hyperShadePanelCreate "shader" lambert`;
...So that I can use the name of the shader that gets created later. Ideally, I'd imagine there has to be a command I can use to specify the material type, and give it a name of my own, any ideas on how to do this, or on how to have the command return the name of the newly created shader?
Thanks!
