SI2015 documentation issues

Post by Hirazi Blue » 20 Apr 2014, 09:36

While the new Mental Ray Layering Library (the "mila_" shader set) seems to have been included in Softimage 2015, there appears to be no mention of it in the documentation (at first glance). One would have at least expected a mention of the parameters of each shader in reference part of the User Guide, but even clicking on the question mark in the shader PPG gets me an error stating the corresponding page cannot be found. I am working with the offline help, but at this point that shouldn't really matter, I guess.(And my work PC being offline permanently makes it hard for me to hunt for online versions of the User Guide or the Mental Ray manual.)

Another documentation related issue: is there a reason, why the string options paragraph at the very bottom of this page links to the "2012" (!) version of the Mental Ray docs?

edit: renamed the thread...

I found this documentation, that should help a bit

and string options here

$ifndef "Softimage"
set "Softimage" "true"
$endif
