Maya 8 MR3.5 FinalGather options

Well these Options are not available by default in the Maya 8 MR3.5 render options.

So.. turn on MR in your plugins,

open render settings for MR, close it,

then run this script:-

if (objExists miDefaultOptions)
{
if (!attributeExists "finalGatherMode" "miDefaultOptions")
{
addAttr -ln "finalGatherMode" -at enum -en "strict:compatible:auto:multi" miDefaultOptions;
addAttr -ln "finalGatherPoints" -at short -min 1 -max 100 -dv 20 miDefaultOptions;
}

select miDefaultOptions;
ShowAttributeEditorOrChannelBox;
}

And those four options they've been will be available to you (under extra attribs)

The changes didnt appear to survive to the mi stream tough when you export! So how do you confirm it actualy matters for the interanal renderer. Edity: yup it does work, just like precompute density.

I know you can push the text in manualy and then it appears to make a chanage.

Altough in general it does appear that anything you add to this node gets slammed into the internal feed, but not export (wich is wierd)

Same applies to something like fg_presamp_density. Hard to say for sure tough, then i would asume it works by normal convention. Tough personaly i would have guessed something esle for the naming convention.
