a simple description of what you need to do and the order in which you need to do it would probably help lift the mystery on this fine shader.

You gotta help me out with this because I wrote the readme with the shader as simple and short and to the point as I could imagine. I'm assuming you did read it. You couldn't possibly be suggesting I make it shorter, are you?

Here's the shortest possible version - should I put this at the top of the readme?

Install the shader.
Install parmatic.
Load Apollo
Double click the non-raytraced shader
render

After that its not so simple. Click faces to load them. Click presets to load them. Click better base shaders to use raytracing. Ok, it actually is that simple.

Seriously, help me out. There is no running of scripts as you mentioned. You load the shader and render. Then you play with faces and presets, and keep rendering.
