Twiddle, I sent you a pm asking a few questions about the mray template you posted. Just in case you did not see the pm flag I wanted to post them in here as well. I started getting some strange behavior when quitting maya on all files that I import the template into. Here are the questions: Can you tell me a little about that mray template? Did you get this from a book, wbt, or vbt? I am wondering what the three mel scripts in the presets folder do? (mentalrayFramebufferPreset_mr_custom.mel, mentalrayGlobalsPreset_mr_custom.mel, mentalrayOptionsPreset_mr_custom.mel) Also, do you know why the default "lambert1" has a rock shader on it? I don't see anything in the scene that is ucing it and I am not sure I want to create all my default abjects as rocks (LOL). and finally, do you know why every time I try to quit maya I get a box asking me if I want to save the file even if I have already just saved it? (This behavior seems to be associated wiht this mb file and any file I import it into).
