How to load vray_Mtl into maya?

[haggi]

I could not find any information about this so any help would be great.

I'd like to use some of the vray materials which come with vray like the vray_MtlMulti or vray_MtlRamp. But I could not find a way to create a material node for these materials.

For textures I can create a Create->V-Ray->Create texture from vray plugin, but there I only can create textures not material nodes.

Am I just blind and cannot see the correct nodes in maya?

You can only create BRDF plugins in this way for the moment (from Create > V-Ray > Create material from V-Ray BRDF plugin). There is no particular reason for it, just no-one asked for it so far. In any case MtlMulti is automatically created when you assign different shaders to different parts of the same mesh and also when using VRayProxy objects, while MtlRamp is created when you use the Maya Ramp shader.
