ok this might be a stupid question, I might be missing something that's right in front of my face but here it goes...

today I went to install a new MR shader, I opened the .rayrc file to paste the new entry like I've done before and to my surprise the previous shaders that I installed are not listed in the file... They still show in Maya and they still work! This lead me to think that somehow mayacally there is a different .rayrc file but upon searching I couldn't find anything else. There has been only one version of Maya ever installed in this machine (08) and I'm the only user besides IT... WTF is going on? even the date of the .rayrc file is wrong... says 2/25/08 when maya was installed in 5/08 and I have updated this file since then anyways, any thoughts?

There is no need to touch the .rayrc file any longer.

I believe this was introduced a couple of years ago.

Hi
yes like leif3d said, no reason to edit the rayrc file at all!
read this thread (http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?f=7&t=741492) on how to install custom shader in maya2009.
