Hey Matt,
Sorry for my late response, just getting around to reading this thread.
Matt, I can tell by your reply to my post, my words were received in a way I
didn't intend.
I certainly didn't mean you were saying "you're not smart enough to use
software X". Didn't mean that at all. But I've

Thanks for the endorsement, Pierre.
However, don't get too excited. Majority of the shaders were written
between 2001-2004 with the idea of creating a utility node library to expose

@Sven's got some really deep honest points regarding mr.
@Matt Lind, any MR shaders you develop help a lot of people, who read this

I think the biggest problem with the stability of MR was with the concept of
only releasing a single update once a year which was tided to the 3D

I think the biggest problem with the stability of MR was with the concept of
only releasing a single update once a year which was tided to the 3D
program. That was unrealistic idealism. There was also pressure to give

1. I don't want to throw away a expensive CPU based renderfarm.
It will be obsolete soon anyway so just make good planing for next render tool

The flexibility of MR and 3delight are unmatched (in XSI), but the speed
demands forced on this biz make Redshift indispensable for keeping pace.

While on the subject of nostalgia and recent release of various tools for
XSI.
I have a selection of mental ray shaders I wrote long ago still perfectly

While on the subject of nostalgia and recent release of various tools for
XSI.
I have a selection of mental ray shaders I wrote long ago still perfectly
valid as they're utility nodes for accessing renderer preferences, lights,
performing math, or other basic features missing from the native
