Please change your bookmark.
I've updated the Shaders and Nodes bookmarks. I've broken them down by site, and I've grouped various topics together as best as I could.
I've also included a portion on bagginsbill's Matmatic which includes a link to download it, links to various scripts as well as instructions on how to use it.
Please feel free to continue to add tutorials and deep discussions to this thread so that it stays up-to-date.
Please try to keep this thread for bookmarks only and if you need help on something please create a new thread.

How to use Matmatic:
It's super easy to use. Unforutnately I was over thinking stuff and had trouble, hehe
1. Unzip matmatic to your Poser runtime. Not to an external one, right into your Poser runtime. It's in proper runtime structure, so do not move any files around. The script sits directly in the "Python" folder and not in the "scripts" subfolder. Do not move it.
2. Matmatic comes with some scripts. There are others too. See the second page of the"Shaders & Nodes" thread for a list of relevant RDNA threads for more scripts.
After you have unzipped matmatic to your Poser runtime, open Poser.
File/Run Python Script
Browse to the Python/Matmatic folder and select the script.
Run it. That's all. You won't see anything visible except a message in the window saying something about compilation complete. That means that Matmatic read the scripts and generated material files that you access in the material room just like any other materials. It's not like Wardrobe Wizard where you have to run the script each time.
After you have run Matmatic and it has generated shaders based on the scripts it read, you can go to the material and use the shaders/materials just like you would any other material in your materials library.
If you want to add a button to your python scripts window in Poser, follow the instructions in this thread. Dimension3D explained to me how to add an extra button, and to even make a subscript button where you can have as many scripts in there as you want.
NOTE: Matmatic generates errors if you have your files are compressed. If you compress your files, uncompress them before you run Matmatic.
If you want to add more scripts, go to the links I posted in the shaders&Nodes thread, and locate the script attachments in the RDNA threads. Open the text file because you are going to save it.
Decide on a name IE: ReptileScales and browse to your Poser/Library/Materials/Matmatic Demo folder. Create a new folder in there called "ReptileScales" Then save the text file to that folder and call it "ReptileScales.mm1.txt"
**Each mm1.txt script file has to have it's own separate folder.
**Then go into Poser and run the Matmatic Python Script to generate the shaders/materials from that script you have just save.
That's all there is too it. Unfortunately matmatic is a script only, and doesn't generate .png files. So the materials are shown in the material room library as the shrugging man icon. If you want thumbnails, open a primative, apply the material and render a 91 x 91 thumbnail and save it as a .png file with the same name of the shrugging man icon you are replacing.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)

They are working on it. I just spoke to them today. My postings sometimes use scripts (text files) and those were all missing, but not lost forever. Also, PNG file images were not moved. They will move them.
But yes all bookmarks are ruined. I don't know wny they don't include a forwarder from old style URL to new one. But they don't.

The following is a caveat from Bagginsbill, regarding the above shader:
Quote - That shader was not designed for big flat things. It was designed for ice sculptures or icicles.
Also, it won't look right unless you provide a 360 environment to see reflected and refracted things.
Plus it doesn't have gamma correction.
By "big flat things" he was referring to ice rinks etc.

It just happened that I was looking for the slime shader and was having trouble finding it (initially I searched for "slimey" and couldn't find it with the forum search function). The other bad news is that RDNA lost the attached files. Luckily, I had downloaded it a while ago. It just took time finding it.

How to use Matmatic:
It's super easy to use. Unforutnately I was over thinking stuff and had trouble, hehe
1. Unzip matmatic to your Poser runtime. Not to an external one, right into your Poser runtime. It's in proper runtime structure, so do not move any files around. The script sits directly in the "Python" folder and not in the "scripts" subfolder. Do not move it.
2. Matmatic comes with some scripts. There are others too. See the second page of the"Shaders & Nodes" thread for a list of relevant RDNA threads for more scripts.
After you have unzipped matmatic to your Poser runtime, open Poser.
File/Run Python Script
Browse to the Python/Matmatic folder and select the script.
Run it. That's all. You won't see anything visible except a message in the window saying something about compilation complete. That means that Matmatic read the scripts and generated material files that you access in the material room just like any other materials. It's not like Wardrobe Wizard where you have to run the script each time.
After you have run Matmatic and it has generated shaders based on the scripts it read, you can go to the material and use the shaders/materials just like you would any other material in your materials library.
If you want to add a button to your python scripts window in Poser, follow the instructions in this thread. Dimension3D explained to me how to add an extra button, and to even make a subscript button where you can have as many scripts in there as you want.
NOTE: Matmatic generates errors if you have your files are compressed. If you compress your files, uncompress them before you run Matmatic.
If you want to add more scripts, go to the links I posted in the shaders&Nodes thread, and locate the script attachments in the RDNA threads. Open the text file because you are going to save it.
Decide on a name IE: ReptileScales and browse to your Poser/Library/Materials/Matmatic Demo folder. Create a new folder in there called "ReptileScales" Then save the text file to that folder and call it "ReptileScales.mm1.txt"
**Each mm1.txt script file has to have it's own separate folder.
**Then go into Poser and run the Matmatic Python Script to generate the shaders/materials from that script you have just save.
That's all there is too it. Unfortunately matmatic is a script only, and doesn't generate .png files. So the materials are shown in the material room library as the shrugging man icon. If you want thumbnails, open a primative, apply the material and render a 91 x 91 thumbnail and save it as a .png file with the same name of the shrugging man icon you are replacing.

PLEASE HELP MEEEEE! I'm stuck in the Material room.
After three hours spent creating a figure which looks perfect in preview, every time I render it in the Material Room it goes to a barely defined yellow sillhouette. I've disconnected all the nodes and tried to start from scratch - but the render still blasts all the detail.
Is there a magic button somewhere called WYSIWYG which realigns all Material Room parameters to erase all the mistakes I MIGHT have made and makes the render look like the preview?????
Infinite thanks for any help provided......

Anway - there is a wiki page for the Poser Material Room here:
http://www.renderosity.com/mod/rrwiki/index.php/Poser_Material_Room
It was started with the intentioin of listing all the nodes, but I think that's going to be a mistake. Just covering the basics of what the nodes do and how to use them is easily over 50 pages.
Anyway, I'm going to make a sub-page from that for Poser Shader Threads, under Further Reading. Then we can just start moving links into it from here. We can sort it later.

kobaltkween posted Tue, 23 March 2010 at 7:21 PM
well, it's not exactly lazy programming. the wiki system they're using is the most popular wiki system out there by far, and it was made years and years ago when they decided the best way to deal with security and regular users (not people who knew how to hand code) was to use pseudo-code. javascript wasn't as advanced as a language, i think, and i know the practice of clean DOM scripting wasn't in place. unless i'm remembering wrong, there were no rich HTML editors for textareas yet. iirc, the most i saw at the time in terms of javascript and forms was a little bit of input validation. so pseudo code enabled people to add HTML properties without having to know HTML. phpBB uses pseudo code, too, so much rich editing online was done that that way.
things have changed and advanced, and there are both free and commercial JS modules that can duplicate a full HTML editor. but there's a huge community around that wiki system now. it's the backend for the entire Wiki Media line, for instance. almost everyone who uses wikis at all are used to using this system. so even if most of the Web is doing something different, most of the people on it who post to wikis are still used to this system and its pseudo code.
that said, my guess is it's possible to implement some JS rich HTML editing on the client-side and keep the backend mostly the same. but it would be a lot of trouble to work against usability norms, which is generally a bad idea and has its major drawbacks in the best of situations.

I found a tool to do the conversion here:

My point was the WIKI editor should have a button to paste HTML and convert it. My opinion stands. If it's done already on that page it could be done in the WIKI editor.

Ok, I started to update the wiki page. I"ve managed to incorporate the 1st 2 pages of this thread with the updates. I should have the rest done by the end of the weekend.
After that I'm going to work on the wiki page and try and sort it out better and update any dead links.
After that I'm going to create other wiki pages with other bookmarked threads that I have created for things like lighting, cloth room etc.

Moving this up for the time being. I'm still working on fixing the links and moving everything over to Wiki.

I changed the texture jpg on a floor and now want to make tiles out of the texture I have used. How do I do that? I can't seem to attach an image map node to the Poser SUrface.

Start a thread - or two. That seems to be two different questions or I totally don't understand what you mean by "I can't seem to attach an image map node to the Poser Surface".
This thread is supposed to be links to threads, not a conversation.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)

In fact, every link that sounded halfway interesting to me is dead.... Yes BB, it is disturbing to find out that something like this has been done voluntarily. If anyone knows "why" I'd like to know, but more importantly, I'd like to know if there are plans to reroute this information to somewhere else!?

Scroll down the thread. The links have been updated....or rather most of them anyway.

Start a new thread for your question. This thread is for listing links to useful threads, not for actually answering questions. When you start the thread, explain what you know about UV mapping and what you did for this prop.

We cannot remove postings after 15 minutes. That is why it is so important not to clutter the forum. We can't clean it up.

Nice! Do you have 2012? There are some leather textures in the materials that look good. You may have to fiddle with the amount of reflection.
