Hy there!

A while ago , I have seen a book that was pretending that is will teach you all about shaders in Poser.I was thinking that I had it added to my wishlist , but when I get in there now to add it to the cart , I have noticed that is no more (maybe I had just the impression that I have added it).

I don't know wich is the merchant or the full name of the product.I have tried with shader , shaders and so on and also checked all the tutorials sections of the marketplace I could find.All I know is that it had a greenish cover with some sort of human figure with shaders applied to it.

Maybe you can redirect me to it if it's still available.

Thank you in advance!

Best regards!

Not BTSculptor's book. 

I recall a thread where I looked the book up at Amazon and it was $80 and I decided that I wasn't that interested in learning more about shaders. All I can remember is that it wasn't Poser specific.

My visual indexes of Poser content are at http://www.sharecg.com/pf/rgagnon

hrm. the only shader/texturing books i can think of with a figure on the cover are maya-specific. no, wait, i saw a remaindered book at london drugs a couple of weeks ago ... ah, here it is: Inspired 3D Modeling & Texture Mapping. i don't recall anything about poser, but i didn't look that closely. the "bible" for procedural shaders is Texturing & Modeling: A Procedural Approach. i have the first edition of this, and it rocks. but yes, it is expensive.

The book was in downloadable format.No hardcover.Also had some samle shaders inside.Maybe this will help.

Sixus1 has a PDF file that explains shaders, I wouldn't call it thick enough to be a "book" though.

Poser In Depth 2: Shaders Essentials, $3.49
23pg PDF file along with a number of .mt5 (P5 Material) files.

www.poserproducts.com under the tutorial section.
