mental ray shader in viewport - maya

[Deleted User]

I've spent the past 2 days trying to figure out how i can get the shader i downloaded to preview in my viewport

I've been using the mix8layer shader and the JS_MultiLayers from http://pixero.com/downloads.html

is there anyway to preview them in the viewport instead of having to render each time?


thanks

Nope
Not to my knowledge anyway

Mental ray shader's are for Mental Ray rendering only
Mayas viewport is another renderer of its own
