bopper:

Yes the raised panels are done with math. Everything you see is actually a flat square polygon. I will show you how to do it in a tutorial coming soon. I will also give you the complete matmatic script to generate those shaders and thousands more.

Sorry you had problems. Maybe you could post a little note in the node cult to help other new people understand what not to do, or how to recognize what you did wrong so they can correct it quickly.

Oooh, ghonma, that is a very good link you provided. Fantastic and yes I can do this quite easily in Poser using matmatic. Watch for another tut!

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
