Yes, but you'll need the connection editor to hook them up. The mia_material has many possible outputs, but often you'll want to hook up the mia_material_x.result to one of the dj_mix_colors color inputs. Notice that the mia output attribute is called "result" and not "outColor" like in most of the other shaders.

Rachid, the dj_mix_colors_ExportSelected.mi is included just to show a mid-way stage in the creation of dj_mix_colors.mi. It is the raw result of using the maya phenomenizer node. After that I modified it to get the final result. I wanted to show people the "before" and "after".

Hi David
