Hello.
I was trying to gather some data from the scene to a procedural for Mantra.
In the docs for the VRAY_Procedural::import() functions it is said that
using a syntax like camera:shutter, global:fps or object:name in the first
argument data from the Mantra settings, object to render or camera for the
render can be query.
I manage to get some of these data looking at the examples, but I wonder if
there is any list which specifies all the settings that are possible to
query and in what contexts could be queried, global, object, camera, etc ...
So for instance if I am trying to get what type of motion style is being
used for the render, what I have to use for the property in the import?
Thanks.

Take a look at the 2nd message.
You can also do:
% ray_show global object light fog | mantra
If there are any that aren't documented, that need to be, please let us know.
Thanks,

Thanks Marks, I made an scripts that saves all render properties for
global, camera, light and object in a file.
I think this could be more accessible, should be in the docs in my opinion.
Cheers.

Hi Pablo,

Yep that it is Mark, thanks again. Only thing I am missing is that not all
the properties specifies the "internal" name for Mantra.
Also I was looking for the motionstyle property and just stumped with the
new shutter offset property, it is great, now we can implement any kind of
motion blur, thanks I know this feature has been in the TODO list for a
while, but it is finally there.
Thanks!
