Quote - Do you have to create them IN Reality or can you import Blender setups somehow?

The shader are created in Reality. With Reality I doubt that you will feel the need to tweak by hand anything. Some of the most challenging issues of the past were how to edit Lux textures. I believe that there is complete support of the most relevant parameters in Reality 3. There might be some obscure, rarely used parameter that is not included but event the small stuff is included.

Of course we will have to talk again once it's release and, of course, there will be room for improvement.

Cheers.
