Quote - That's why I interjected the apology.  Speaking of materials database.  I am correct in the thinking that the materials dropdown in reality is just a listing of LUXRENDER materials right?  If this is correct, I've seen several materials in the material database at Lux.net that I'd like to see popping up in my Reality.  How do I go about doing that?

The materials in Reality are mostly LuxRender materials with the exception of Water, which is specific of Reality. Water is simulated with the use of the Glass2 volumetric glass, as people usually do with LuxBlend. The difference is that it makes the process dead simple instead of being mind-boggling complicated :)

Connecting to the LRMDB is a goal, when it will be implemented I can't really say. You will see tomorrow that Reality 3 is a big jump ahead. I'm focusing on making that happen and then work on other features like the LRMDB.

Cheers.
