RE: XSI 5.01 available

Title: Re: XSI 5.01 available

It was fixed, along with other shaders that are in the bug listing but not the title, because they simply didn't work any more due to the new on-demand geometry rendering. They made certain assumptions about the scene layout in mental ray, assumptions which now don't hold.

when the thread of using the lighting on the generator object to color fur
came up last week,
I thought of 2D fur for a microsecond. since its an output effect, it will
pick up the rendered color of the source.

overall it is pretty outdated,
but if you want very short fur and a huge amount of strands, (say
giraffeskin or so) it is still worth a look.
If you can bear to go with all the limitations of it that is.

viable nowadays. But perhaps I'm wrong and someone somewhere in his cave
still uses it.
