Mental ray Compiling functions and tutorials

Hello,

Just checking in to see if there has been an update to the Mental ray shader compiling functions.
Are the necessary header files (metasl.h) available to compile mental ray shaders?

Are there any tutorials available?

Thanks,

The compiling of mental mill shaders for mental ray will be available with mr 3.7+. That version will take care of any compiling issues that might have otherwise complicated the workflow. What is left to do is to install a free version of Visual Studio Express.
With this environment mental ray will be able to take care of the shader compilation itself.

- Best Regards,
Ruediger
