hello I downloaded the Ctrl_occlusion shader from the Mymentalray website and Im just wondering how to install custom shaders into Maya/MR ..
Shoulld you put the file into a specifik fodler if so which folder and what file (.extenstion) shoulld I use ..

THis question is more a general one on how custom shaders work and not so consentrated on the specifik ctrl_occlussion shader..

Tnx

Just go to "Window -> Rendering Editors -> mental ray -> shader manager" and browse the file. That should be all you need to do.

I wrote a brief guide on my blog - here (http://www.djx.com.au/blog/customizing-maya/) - about half way down the page. It's for maya2008, but should still work with 2009.
