Re: shader writing: Array picking menu question

[Rob Wuijster <rob(at)glassworksamsterdam.nl>]

Hi,

Back at some SPDL writing....

I have been browsing the SDK after this reply, but not sure about some 
things yet. I found the "type = reference", "UIType" and "mode" entries, 
but am still unsure about the "filter = {GUID}" line.

I assume this GUID is somehow linked to each objectgroup in XSI, so the 
PPG wntry looks at the correct entry in the selectionwindow. I couldn't 
find a list linking the XSI object family constant strings. Or am I 
looking in the wrong direction, or at the wrong place in the SDK??

Also, how does one "pick" the material for this "mip_render_subset" 
shader anyway?
(mia entry:
        array geometry "objects",
        array integer  "instance_label",
        material       "material",
)

I don't assume a regular connection slot in the RT node will do..

cheers,
