Can I save a group of shaders for reuse or only individually?

Hi Ren_mem, Individually. Since it's a simple drag and drop procedure, hopefully it won't take too much longer. Doing it that way does allow you to change the names of the shaders if you want, and to comment each one if needed. The commenting is a cool function. I have some shaders that work best with certain lighting arrangements. The comments is where I note that information. Mark

You could save them as part of a document. Delete lights, camera etc. You can then use the Import dialog to add them to another scene.

Hadn't thought about that work-around. Good one.

Yeah, when I discovered I could cutnpaste all of them I decided importing them was a good way.Way too many shaders with this poser stuff to be doing that...you would go insane.Thanks for all the input.
