Mental Ray Shaders

Hi all,

http://www.pixero.com/downloads_mr.html

This is the website where you can download many good mental ray shaders to use inside Maya. The shader that I used to mix the fast_skin shader with some specular blinn shaders is called mix20layer. You can see a good example of how to use it in the Gnomon Workshop (http://www.thegnomonworkshop.com/) skin tutorial. It is very flexible because you can mix up to 20 shaders in different layers and specify how you want them to be blended...

Have a happy holidays!

360 skies

Attached to the title is a link to a bunch of great 360 skies and the tutorial on how to apply it properly. I applied a few to the half circle and they worked well. You will have to do some photoshop editing to the jpgs to remove the tag.
