Softimage 2011 and shaders

[RoN43]

Hi!
anybody have a problems with Ba_shaders, d3_shaders, wom_archlight and others? I use workgroup to instal addons, from my workgroup softimage 2010 work perfectly, SI 2011 instal addons in workgroup without errors, shaders visible in render tree and connectable to materials, but when I start render ERROR : PHEN 0.4 error 051011: shader not found
I try to instal in User category, and the same error! Half of shaders not work, and reinstal not help!
SI 2011 32b, win7
Help, please.

Are you using a 32 bit Softimage by chance?
If so, there seems to be a chance in the naming convention used for the folder the shader dll's go into: originally it was "nt-x86", but apparently it got changed to "nt-x86-32". If so, renaming that folder/folders should do the trick...
(Can't test this though, as I am on a 64 bit SI2011)
;)

I don't think it depends on 32 bit, I had the same issues and more with 64 bit.

The basic tip from support is to create a addon with all your custom shaders, and reinstall them.
This will also solve the issue of getting wrong shaderpresets in the RT when D&D.
YMMV though.

Also, there are some shaders that will screw up your SI install, as some of them are distributed with old dll's that will interfere with the installed ones.

Hirazi Blue Thanks a lot!!! most shader working with rename a dir nt-x86-32.
PS Ba_shaders still not working with renaming dir! I instal 32bit becouse think that most shaders not working with 64b. I was wrong, I has lagged behind a life, most shaders now support 64b.
