I just installed AutoShade 2.0 w/Renderman. AutoShade works well. All went well until…page 119 of the tutorial. When the Process Info Box came up, it showed: "S01001 No Message: can't open message file: /rman/messages\s.msg" and was followed by a similar message for the codes R10007,S01001 (this one was repeated 6 times), D01002, and at the end: "**Autodesk Renderman exited by fatal error**". I've tried other files with Renderman with the same results (Autoshade works fine). Any suggestions?

Benjamin, Make sure all your environmental variables are set. Renderman is looking for its message files in a sub-directory of SHADE2, and otherwise defaults to the directory shown. I believe you were optionally able to create a batch file with these parameters when loading the program. Check your Installation guide. You want to make sure SHADE2 is on your path, and that the variables SHADECFG and SHADE are set. Kevin Krell – Computer Support Associates
