Note: Shaders appear in the Browser only if the mental
ray renderer is the cur rently active renderer.
The XYZ Generator shader returns 3D mapping
coordinates. You can use its settings to adjust a 3D
map. The parameters for this shader are equivalent
to parameters on the Coordinates rollout for 3D
maps (page 2–1663).
