in the mental ray shader libraryyou can choose out of presets, but in general you need to tweak settings in order to get what you want,you can download ( often free) shaders from the internet, which you basically import into your scene , if you really want to have presets out of the box use 3ds Max... Thanks Mastone. What I'm seeing is, Window>Rendering Editors>Hypershade. Is this correct? Cheers Terry
