Why is the recommended Mari Version different than the minimum required Mari Version ?



The Main MARI Application changes with every version. While Extension Pack will make use of the latest features available,

in order to ensure users with older MARI versions can still run Extension Pack, certain features might not be available.


Below is a list of features that react differently between Mari Versions



  • Display of Node Properties for Gizmos and Smart Masks in Layerstack


When using MARI 4.5 or higher Smart Masks will display their properties within the Layerstack.

This option is not available in Mari 4.1 or 4.2.

To edit your Smart Mask in Mari 4.1 and 4.2 you will have to open the Smart Mask Node Properties.



  • Multi-Output Support on Nodes


When using MARI 4.5 all Extension Pack Tools will be fully aware of Nodes with multiple Output Ports.

In Mari 4.1 and 4.2 Extension Pack Tools will always default to the first Output Port
