Hi. Not anywhere I could find on any of the 3 discs. All of the shaders used in the tutorial are in the shader library that came with my Maya 8.5 CD and I have imported the individual shaders from there as needed. How to custom build the shader library access directly in to the hypershade lke Mr Boutilier has-- that I am still hoping to learn. It seems from what I have gleaned online that possibly in earlier versions of Maya the shader library was a part of the hypershade work area. Anyone know if that's true? Tristan
