Shaders:Where do put downloaded ones?
 
I'm looking every where for a folder named Shaders...
Where the heck is it?
I want to download some of the hundreds of shaders online but I dont know where to put them...
Also can you see them in the Visor where ever you put them?
Another thing....when you save a shader that you have created ...where do you put it for later use and which file type do you save it as?

Thanks guys and sorry for the noobieness.....:rolleyes:

Hi wgreenlee,

some of the shaders you can download are in the MB or MA format... some is also a plugin... if it is a plugin you just put it in the plugin folder, and load it in the plugin manager...

if it is a MB or MA file... you can import it in the scene throu the Hypershade...

if you make your own shader you can e.g. make a sphere assign the shader to it... and export it as a MB or MA file which you then can import into other projects aswell... :)

regards

All you have to do is make a new directory on you har disk and then go to your visor and create a new tab and than ponit that tab to your new directory....
