Is it possible with Mental Ray for Maya to create an environment map on the fly (when i start a rendering) and instantly use it in the rendering? Like with Pixar Renderman: first all env.maps are created and then the final frame is rendered.

i found the mentalray texture having a "write" button .. but i don´t know how to use this custom node.

thanks for any help
