Deex shaders Pack is a collection of shaders with buffers output pass in « one » click for MentalRay. You can output all pass quickly like : diffuse, specular, reflection… This pack is based on the p_shaders from Ledin Pavel aka Puppet. Thank you Pavel. Thank to FEVRIER Dorian for the help for the compilation of the version 2.

In this shaders pack :

Shaders :

- deeX_Buffer_writter :

It is a simple constant/surface shader to build your custom pass if you want !

- deeX_mi_car_paint :

Like mi_car_paint_phen with outputs. You can upgrade your shader to mi_car_paint_phen_x in one click.

- deeX_mi_metallic_paint :

Like mi_metallic_paint with outputs. You can upgrade your shader to mi_metallic_paint_x in one click.

- deeX_mia_material :

Like mia_material_x with outputs. You can upgrade your shader to mia_material_x in one click.

- deeX_misss_fast_shader :

Like misss_fast_shader with outputs. You can upgrade your shader to misss_fast_shader_x in one click. Be careful : do not forget to create/connect your lightmap network !

- deeX_Buffers_pass :

It is the shader for output your pass. Create a « dummy » geometry (like a polygon cube), connect this shader in the transform of your cube —-> mentalray —-> geometry shader.

Version 2 :

- code optimized with the new code of p_shaders from Pavel

- you can save in deex_exr_saver with many compression and nice name in the exr :

-  you can choose virtual buffers :

- you can gamma correct all shaders in one click for linear workflow :

- you can check outputs in one click :

- add 10 extras buffers for all shaders to create mask or other :

- you can check extras buffers in one click :

Version 2.01 :

- fix pass with cutout opacity in deeX_mia_material

- fix error in gamma linear button in deeX_buffers_pass

- add renderLayer overide on the name of the image in the deeX_buffers_pass

- reorder short name of all deex shader

Version 2.02 :

- compile shaders for linux64

Trick :

To convert all mia_material (_x(_passes)) in deex_mia_material :

source AEupgradeMiShader;
string $malistes2[] = `ls -type "mia_material" -type "mia_material_x" -type "mia_material_x_passes" `;

string $montruc;

for ($montruc in $malistes2 )

{

 AEdoMiShaderConversion $montruc deeX_mia_material _deex;

}

If someone can compil shaders for Linux, Osx, all maya version, etc etc…now you can. For help for linux and osx version, you can see the make file of p_shaders. Obviously, if someone compil shaders for other platform, share with everyone…

The trick is to use the p_megaTk shader and use special channel to output all buffers, big thank to Pavel for the shader.

How is the script working ?

Do the shading of your scene normally with *_x shaders. After, to output your pass, run the script with this line in python :

import DeexBufferCreate;DeexBufferCreate.DeexBufferCreate()

Create a dummy poly cube and connect a « p_MegaTK_pass » in the geometry of the transform of the cube and set the option (of the « p_MegaTK_pass »).

Ce soir j’ai écris un très gros tutorial sur comment faire des pass sous MentalRay avec une technique plus optimisé que les renders layers.
