Hello,


how can you see how a VEX Metal Shader is built?( in VEX)


thanks


bern

Right click on the shader, and choose “Type Properties”. Once that dialog is up go to the “VEX Code” tab.

Thanks Wolfwood. How can I convert this code for use with PRMan?


bern

You will have to rewrite it for prman yourself; you can't convert it automatically. But it's very easy Try it.

Look in your Houdini distribution paths for a file called prman.h if you'd like to see how a few of the special/global variables in Mantra map to PrMans.

Thanks Jason,


I made a RMAN surface shader in VOPs (simple lighting model) and assigned this shader to my particle system via a shader SOP.
When I render my scene , I get gray (uncolored) spheres.
How can I make the spheres render in the colour of my particles?

With the houdini default shader, I had to change Cd to diff to make it work.
What can I do to make it work with the Rman shader?( how can I get the Cd of my particles into the Rman shader)


thanks and greetings,


bern
