RE Uber shader. Good answer LaurieA I been down that path myself and it can certainly turn a snack into a four course meal out of things.

As Rhaseltine has pointed out the early skydomes can give you grief as it blocks out the sun :-). The Grotto water if it is the one I am thinking of in the nature kit has both the 3Delight and Iray versions
