Vector displacement map in maya

[fxnurbs]

It may be a maya question but i though people are more liked to have the answer in here as it is all where it start,

is there a way in maya mentalray to use the vector displacement maps from mudbox ?
i know there is Wayn's shader but there is not mac version at the moment.

i am a bit surprised that maya don't have a build in shader to input that, or did i missed a new thing somwhere ?

cheers

Not built in

Yes

I am not, maya just has the default mentaray shader pack and mayas own shaders ported. Since they dont include this you dont get one out of the box. Youll probably see autodesk rolling one out next cycle. (autodesk is not one entity but separate factions doing their own thing). See getting this done form normal artist piror to the painting software supporting this was slim.*

Anyway ive seen at least 8 different free shaders over the years with sources that does this. Personally i use my own (it is after all just 30 lines of code mostly declarations at that) but you can get one from, which happened to be the first one i googled.

• anyway this is not the ONLY shader thats clearly missing there is atleast 10 other bread and butter shaders that are unacountted for.

Thanks,

I knew this site, but as it is a mac version that i am after it gets harder to find.
I'll manage to find it or create it at some point.

cheers

Can you compile? I mean i can give you a outline on how to do it so you can make object and world space displacements work
