T2S IlluminationAuthor: Tek2ShootwinAll, shader, mentalray winAll shader mentalray
T2S_Illumination is dedicated to CG artists looking for a single Illumination node to be used as a basic building block for a great variety of materials. This shader brings together different illumination models, as well as some of the latest Mental Ray functions for optimized glossy scattering. New features, such as Coating surface effects, custom Lafortune settings, or Fresnel Mask are offered here.

T2S MentalRayAuthor: Tek2ShootwinAll, shader, mentalray winAll shader mentalray
previously unexposed mental ray shaders (Car Paint - Ambient and FG Occlusion - Sub-Surface Scattering - Glossy Reflection and glossy refraction - Physical Lights - D2S_Lights, which combines »physical_light« and »mib_cie_d« in order to reproduce realistic illumination)

This shader ships with an old version of a shader library, and is likely to break installations of Softimage newer than XSI 5.1.
