Compute shaders in max/maya

marks

Anyone know if this is possible and/or has links to some resources or information about it? Have not found anything remotely useful so far (but sounds like it should be possible in maya with viewport2.0 at least)

In Maya, you'd be looking at ShaderFX or Stingray.

Hi,

This seems to be possible. My guess is that you would write this in glsl (make sure glsl plugin is enabled). Then call out to the shader via OpenMaya.

There's some documentation on setting up a computer shader through OpenMaya here:

Hope it helps.

Cheers
