Mental Ray for Maya Object Tagging/Labels

Mental Ray for Maya Object Tagging/Labels

2003-11-20       - By Scott Vanzo

 Back
Hello all-

We've been evaluating the Contour rendering feature of mental ray, and
are trying to generate lines between objects utilizing the "Diff Label"
option (object tags). Turning on the "Diff Label" feature doesn't seem
to have any effect, so we've assumed that the user has to create an
object tag for each object. We're using Maya 5.0 with mr v3.2.x. The
mental ray docs refer to Object labels/tags, but we do not know how to
create an object tag (on any sort of geometry) for use with mental ray.
I do not think this is the same as the "Blind Data" Editor's use of
labels/ID's for polys, but I am not familiar enough to know.

If anyone knows how to create an object tag in Maya for use with mental
ray shading, please let me know.

Thanks in advance,

-Scott
