Hi,
Is seems to be one of those days -again-. Trying to "convert" the
cubical lens shader with a Maya .mi file into XSI's SPDL.
The shader wizard seems to do a good job except one of the GUID's is
shot and gives -offcourse- a parsing error in the spdlcheck utility.
So I created one for myself and that seems to do the trick when checking
the spdl file. At least no erros are genereated.
But installing this into XSI gives me an error, and in the logfile a
spdlcheck is adviced for errors. But the check goes fine, so I'm missing
something here and it's still early.....??

Here's the original .mi code:
# MI declarations for latlong_lens Mental Ray shader
# by Ralf Habel (ralf.habel@(protected))
declare shader
color "cubemap_lens" (
integer "lensMode" #: softmin 0 softmax 5 default 0
)
version 1
apply lens
scanline off
trace on
#: nodeid 58676
end declare
-- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- -----
Looks easy enough..
And here's the spdl generated from the shader wizard (from within
Firefox, IE doesn't even want to run):
-- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---
SPDL
Version = "2.0.0.0";
Reference = "{D18D6A3B-BA9C-4EF3-91BD-147AE70F6769}"; NOTE: this
GUID was shot with an : character in the last set of characters
PropertySet "cubemap_lens_params"
{
Parameter "out" output
{
title = "cubemap_lens output parameter";
guid = "{4C6879FF-7EC8-11D0-8E3B-00A0C90640EC}";
type = color;
flags = 0;
}
Parameter "cubemap_lens" input
{
title = "cubemap_lens input parameter";
guid = "{D18D6A3B-BA9C-4EF3-91BD-147AE70F6769}"; NOTE: this
GUID was shot with an : character in the last set of characters
type = integer;
flags = 0;
texturable = off;
value = 0;
value minimum = 0;
value maximum = 5;
persistable = on;
inspectable = on;
}
}
phenomenon "cubemap_lens_declare"
{
Name = "cubemap_lens";
Version = 1;
Use = lens;
Trace = on;
Scanline = on;
shadow = on;
face = both;
}
BEGIN "{24810490-56FF-11d2-BF23-00A0C982CE5D}"
Defaults
{
cubemap_lens
{
Name = "cubemap_lens";
Description = "";
}
}
Layout "Default"
{
cubemap_lens; NOTE: name of .dll file
}
Logic
{
}
END
-- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- --
Code looks fine to me, but XSI doesn't really likes it.
Anyone on this, I was so confident I could do this after some previous
fiddling with shaders and spdls..... ;)
cheers,
