Importons / Irradiance Particles in Mr 3.6, Maya 2008 SP1
These are a new method for bounce illumination in side metal ray. inside maya 2008 sp1 you can add the command via the script editor:
[code lang="c"]
setAttr -type "string" miDefaultOptions.stringOptions[1].name "irradiance particles";
setAttr -type "string" miDefaultOptions.stringOptions[1].value "on";
setAttr -type "string" miDefaultOptions.stringOptions[1].type "boolean";
[/code]
this turns irradiance particles on, however make sure that you turn off Final gather.
