Well, I seem to get it working, although XSI doesn't always like the "testing"
part of the shader ;)
But as far as people like to know, the following works, any tips are always
welcome....
Oh...., and the slider defines what part of the "cube" is rendered out ;)

The GUID for the shader itself and the "cubemap_lens" params are the same. Just
change one value in either one and all should be fine.
Yes, yes. I know. GUIDs suck. We're working on it, honest...

Subject: shader wizard question on .mi file to spdl
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

guid = "{4C6879FF-7EC8-11D0-8E3B-00A0C90640EC}";

}

}

face = both;
}

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,
