Hi Gary,
Do following to get blurred reflections:
1) make a material (Maya's blinn/lambert/phong)
2) click the out put connection button to open the attributes for the
shading group node
3) Open the Mental ray section (attribute editor) and drag and drop
the dgs_shader with middle mouse button (hyper shade window) to
shading group node -> Mental ray -> Material Shader (attribute editor)
4) Click the Supress all maya shaders
5) Go to dgs_material1 attributes and change the Glossy (color for
reflection) and Shiny (brightness of reflection) attributes
6) create a light
7) connect the Mi Export Mr Light attribute (lightShape node) to
Lights attribute (dgs_material node)using connection editor
(highend3d has a script that does this for u2)
8) render
I hope this make sense and I didn't miss any step here ...
Niko
