RE: Replacing the shadertree? Possible?

["Matt Lind" <speye_21(at)hotmail.com>]

That's because they tapped into the mental ray shader ball mechanism.

I know mental ray v1.x had shaderballs because I used to hack the shader 
cus files in SI3D to expose them on certain shaders - didn't always work 
though.  I can't remember if the shaderballs were discontinued with mental 
ray v2.x or v3.x.  I only remember it happened when mental ray did one of 
it's core architecture overhauls.
