Just follow the above example and you are ready to rock LOL my node setup is about 30 nodes per material and a real pain to get started with, but fear not! cause I'm writing a Phyton script as times allows, to load the nodes automatically and will be happy to share it as soon as its finished Good thing is that once the nodes are loaded you don't need to touch them again if you make changes to lights, cameras, ect. For now, just follow the above example and you can't go wrong! o_~ just add some extra blinn nodes for highlights here and there and you'll get similar results as mine. warpo
