Quote - Then I click on the shader operations button on my materials tab, go to Load Shaders, and there's no db there even though I JUST verified that it was, in fact, there.  Any help you or anyone else in the community can give would be nice.

That's not how ACSEL works. The "A" stands for automatic, you don't have to use "Load Shader" at all. All you need to do is to place the figure designated for the shader in you r scene, with the texture package designed for the shader. Load Reality and the ACSEL shaders are used. That's it. 

Please note that a shader made for V4 will only work with V4, not with Genesis.

Cheers.
