Hi, Guys,

I have written a new Material that extends the "Shell_Material", it works perfectly* in Scanline and Vray, but when rendering with Mental Ray I get "Material "NewMatt ( TSWMatt )" not supported by the translator. Will render black.".... Just wondering if you guys can shed some light on getting this to work with mental ray? I did search the mxs help but was unable to find anything....

Cheers
Dave

What are the sub-materials of the 'shell' material? are they supported by MR? ?

Yeah the sub materials are supported by max (there actually user defined in the rollout) strangly enough if i extend a Mental Ray material i get no errors, and im doing the exact same thing, with the exception of placing a Material to Shader map in the surface slot and adding everything else as usual...

Cheers
Dave
