drUtilSuite 1.01 for mental ray 3.4 and 3.5

[floze]

They should work for maya 8.5 just as well, not for x64 though. I dropped them a mail about that issue, let's see what turns out. I'll keep you updated.

Thanks, Floze...

The guy replied me back about the issue as well. I'm just wondering how to use it without replacing the original scripts in maya default/scripts/others directory because we are sharing MR shaders ont he network and I dont wanna tweak individual boxes just to find out I have to remove/upgrade it again later.

Keep us updated please :P

Thanks

ft: you can put the files on a shared network drive, and in a different location to the maya ones. All you have to do get them seen by maya is add a line to Maya.env
For example:
MI_CUSTOM_SHADER_PATH = d:\mentalray\lib;d:\mentalray\include;
(note: you must specify both the lib and the include path)
Maya will then look for shaders in this loacation in addition to its default.

The drUtilSuite has been updated for windows and linux x64 support:

Maybe someone can post their feedback on if it's working, as I dont have access to a x64 machine right now..
