Some mental ray materials are now classified as “Legacy
Materials” in Maya 2014. Unfortunately, there is an issue where these materials
will not appear with swatches or shading groups. Here is a list of the
materials affected:
mib_glossy_reflection
mib_glossy_refraction
builtin_bsdf_architectural
builtin_bsdf_architectural_comp
builtin_bsdf_ashikhmin
builtin_bsdf_carpaint
builtin_bsdf_lambert
builtin_bsdf_mirror
builtin_bsdf_phong
path_material
mib_illum_lambert
mib_illum_phong
mib_illum_blinn
mib_illum_cooktorr
mib_illum_ward
mib_illum_ward_deriv
path_material
transmat
dgs_material
dielectric_material
To work around this issue, download the attached
“mentalrayCustomNodeClass.mel” file and copy it into
mentalrayForMaya2014/scripts. This will revert the mental ray material
classifications to their Maya 2013-state.
