[Anonymous]

is there a way to combine custom textures with a ramp material. i have  plugged color maps in to a ramp shader but it ended up scrabbling the image

We need a lot more info here blw035 to be able to help you.

First what effect are trying to achieve?

Yes, you can apply texture maps to a ramp for a variety of reasons.

Let us know more.

Aren't the Maya "toon" shaders give you most of these effects ? They offer plenty of controls, and mental ray should render that without problems.
