"contour_only" mr node?

[alexx]

dont know if that is available but i know that when i was doing the contour test in MR i stumbled acoss that "feature" by error and had a hard time getting it different..

i think it had something to do with the "simple contour shader" which only does the outlines and not internal lines.

thanks man, we´ll look into that. I found the real name of the node we´re looking for is "contour_shader_silhouette" (not contour_only, like I posted).

In the Maya 5.01 mental ray docs, it speaks of a "contour_only" mental ray node, which supposedly creates an inkline only along the silhouette of an object (and not on any internal borders). However, this node is not available from within the Maya UI, nor is it possible to create this node with the "createNode" command. Does anyone know if this is at all available with mr in Maya? This would be a huge help on the project I´m working on now.

thanks-
