Definitely, Gareee. I've already added it to my Daz wishlist just after reading the blurb about it there. :) The Poser (aka Pixels3D) shader node system is feature-rich and very flexible, but it is also ridiculously complicated. What little time I've had to experiment with it has not been enough to plumb the depths of its mysteries (and CL/eF have done little in the manuals to illuminate any part of it). For instance, the best reference that I found to these nodes is actually a textbook, "Texturing & Modeling: A Procedural Approach" (which is about $70 - being used for development of course). This is a collaborative effort from some of the greats in the field: Perlin, Worley, Ebert, Musgrave, and Peachey. Some of those names should sound familiar to any of you!

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
