I've got the Carrara Bible, but it leaves many questions unanswered. I'm wondering if there are any practical tutorials on creating your own shaders. I just recently realised how much I don't know about making my own shaders in Carrara. Any links or help will be greatly appreciated.

I know Antoine has some stuff up on the Yahoo Carrara Group. Is there something specific you're looking for, wood, metals, stone, or something in general? TonyLynch Moderator, Carrara/RDS & Renderwars Forums 3d Commune

koam, The one I remember most is in the files area, it deals mostly with reflections and how the reflection and highlight work together. I should've looked closer last night when I got home from work, but I wanted to finish up a project, and never got around to it. Tony

If you're interested in some serious surface treatments that apply to most 3D situations and software head over to www.dvgarage.com and check out the "Attention to Detail" area of the site. If you can afford it, pick up the Surface Toolkit CD or DVD for $199 (I was fortunate to have gotten this in a recent promotional deal they had for Electric Image.) It has 166 hi-res photoshop "grime" files to use in your shaders along with some Quicktime tutorials about how to use them in conjunction with some great lighting theory. I've learned more about shading, lighting and imitating reality in an hour from these tutorials than from the piles of books I have in my shelves. Highly recommended. Michael
