I have to admit that I'm using the p_z shader more often these days. Not sure if there's a mac version though. You can probably use optimize scene and remove unknown nodes to avoid the vectorRenderGlobals error. And you can get rid of the shave error by clearing the pre and post render mel fields in render globals. I'm glad it works for you.

Many, many thanks! I was burning through possibilities and began to think I would simply have to settle for mentalray's built-in depth channel. I have encountered only two problems, which appear to be harmless: Whenever I open the example file, I am given this error: [Directory Path]/example.ma line 1370: Unrecognized node type 'vectorRenderGlobals'; preserving node information during this session. Perhaps this is because the Vector Renderer is not available in 64-bit for Mac, so I do not have it loaded. The second error I receive occurs ever time I attempt to render a scene: // Error: Cannot find procedure "shave_MRFrameStart". // // Error: Cannot find procedure "shave_MRFrameEnd". // This error occurs whether I am using Maya Software or mentalray, and it occurs regardless of the render layer that I am rendering. I do not know what these are, but it does not seem to affect the output.
