Quote - > Quote - Could a script be written where you check a box for choice of color (gold/platnum/etc.) , reflection (matte/mirror) and then a surface condition (hammered/brushed/distressed/etc.) option that you could check more than one and have amounts that could be entered for each? Perhaps also include a small amount of mat files too.

With the understanding that there is no GUI, I already wrote such a script. It's called matmatic. And this is how I make the 210 shaders. 

Coming in a bit late, but whole-heartedly agreeing with Acadia and everyone else: the more options, the merrier. Too bad the thumbnails can't be generated in matmatic as well, but I'm sure you could script something in Photoshop that would give you the requisite variances of colour.

And I'm already in the queue to Buy this, basically on Principle. After all the gifts you've given us, Ted, I'm elated to see you finally getting a bit more than just a few " 'ats-a-way! " for your efforts!
