Hmmm. It occurs to me that while my technique is fine for shaders authored by me via matmatic, it's not particularly a good workflow if you're trying to take an existing shader build by someone else with a crapload of nodes and all you have is the material. In such cases, you're forced to reverse-engineer the shader and make an equivalent matmatic script. That's a pain in the butt.

So, suppose my first commerical product was a script that automatically does this to materials directly in the scene. (Would not work for Poser 5 - there is no node API in that version.)

Is that worth something? I know you talked about the point of doing this yourself is to avoid paying for Poser Pro. But would you pay something for such a script?

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)
