Metal shader?

[rudi hammad]

Hi guys
I was wondering if there was any preset for metal shaders in renderman.The mia material in mental ray is great,but doesn´t render with renderman right?
Thx

Depends what type of renderman you are using. There should be some precompiled shaders with all versions, look in the lib/shaders area of your install. If this is RfM you can't render mia_material as it's a mental ray shader, but you can render any metal shader you build in the hypershade.

If you download the 3Delight renderer they have a version of mia_material that you might be able to compile for prman - I've personally never tried it though.
