mental mill export tutorial update

Dear mental mill users,

The documents for exporting from mental mill to other DCC applications have been updated.

Highlights:
The 3ds Max 2011 exporter now explains how to use MetaSL shaders directly inside 3ds Max 2011. This is the first application to have native MetaSL support. A new plugin shipping with mental mill 1.1 copies the necessary files into the according folders so that max will correctly load them at the next startup.

Maya 2011:
All necessary steps to view shaders exported from mental mill using the CgFX Shader plugin are explaind.

Softimage 2011:
The export tutorial has been updated to show how you can export your mental mill shaders to be viewed in the OpenGL viewing mode using CgFX.

FXComposer 2.5
Update to the FXComposer export tutorial

You can find them on the mental images website or you can navigate there directly by following this link.

Best Regards,
Ruediger

Thanks Ruediger!

In the instructions to export to maya, the document says to use the fx composer settings. Is there a reason to not use the maya settings?

Thanks

This is an error, it should of course say that you should use the Maya settings.
Thanks for pointing that out! We will fix the document.

Best Regards,
Ruediger
