Quote - With textures, I'm tending now to take the image maps and copy them into a suitable one of bagginsbill's shaders... especially now he's released some fabric materials, in the bed set.

That way I get the built in fresnel reflections and automatic gamma correction requirement detection, on top of what the original Texture had to offer.

This works better with some image textures than others of course...

...and I'm doing this just as an end user... obviously anyone looking to sell the end result of doing what I'm doing will need BB to be releasing some sort of merchant resource first...

...unless its based on a shader he's given away to the community, I guess.

But I use the shaders from his and Dreamland's sets.

Would you mind explaining shaders to me? sorry for sounding so ignorant lol blushes

I've never heard of any of those utilities you mentioned, can you tell me anthing about them? if they are Mac compatible they might be handy..
