I remember I had a folder of PP2012 specific shaders. Some were a few different versions of glass with the new Fresnel edge blend.  There was the styrofoam shader, a candy pink metal, backdrop material, marble, candlewax...you had a discussion somewhere with LaurieA where you showed a formula that was IMO great for nail polish so I made a folder of that.  I was over at RuntimeDNA last night grabbing those first screenshots of materials you made when P9/PP2012 was new and I built the shaders for those last night (Jade, Pinkstone, yellowstone, blue, white, shower curtain). And I found the Jamesmaterial shader for VSS.  I had a folder dedicated to the discussions on skin, eyes, teeth shaders. I'm not sure what all I have lost. I should have back it up to my external drive. Two nights before the computer died, I must have had a premonition because I backed up the work folder for my most recent V4/Dawn character and all sorts of important saved documents to a thumbdrive.
