Yes, it's done in the material room. You have to create a new node and attach it to the correct spot. The Poser 5 manual does explain hw to create nodes, but I agree it is really hazy as to where to connect them. The way i figure out how to do it, is to look at other people's stuff and see where they connected their nodes, then go back and do mine similarly. Of course, it never seems to be "perfect" that way, so I do a lot of experimenting. I'm sure there are some tutorials around that do a better job explaining al the connections you can make and the effects they have. - Drew
