I'm trying to figure out whether I can use the file path manager (Maya 2014) with V-Ray (2.40.01) nodes, e.g. the VRayMesh node.
I'm getting an error when trying to add the node type (so that the file path manager can find it), so I'm guessing this is a dead end:
This is what the docs say:
...hm, does this mean that if this property got added to the V-Ray plug-in nodes (by the developers at Chaosgroup) which contain a file path (VRayMesh, VRayLightIESShape etc...) ...it could work?

I'm getting an error when trying to add the node type (so that the file path manager can find it), so I'm guessing this is a dead end:
Code:
cmds.filePathEditor(registerType="VRayMesh.fileName", temporary=True) # Error: RuntimeError: filePathEditor: Attribute 'VRayMesh.fileName' is invalid or is not designated 'usedAsFilename'. #
Currently, the attributes specified through this flag must have the "usedAsFileName" property. Supported nodes are "reference" and plug-in nodes. For example: "brush.flowerImage" or "reference" can be used as value for this flag.
