got it, i loaded up maya to find this out for you! hehe right, in the top left of the texture editor there shgould be an arrow, right click and hold down, it should be entitled, create maya nodes, options drop down, simly select create mental ray nodes instead, it should then be available once uve done this on the texture editor.

Nah it should have been in textures... seems you're right, you dont have it in there. Very odd. Not sure what to suggest other than checking what version you're running, and plugins - I'm guessing mayatomr.dll is already enabled but check that.

in the boot, add some column vertically to make the other columns evenly space.d. U have it starting from the roof and then ur first column is at the end of the window, add one in between there and then after the window, u have one column and then another huge space. add one there also so the mesh looks really evenly spread
