OK this is so weird!!! I donthave a shader folder called Nature. Clint......Help. I did a full install when I installed it. Tuck

Tuck! No, Thats a drag Ok - Did you do a "Custom install" when you installed? I cant remember if the extra shaders where part of the "Custom Install" or not. The path to the shaders that shipped with carrara is this. (directory where you installed Carrara)/More Preset/Shaders/ This is the Folder (Directory) where you will find all the "Begley" Shaders. There are 6 folders for these shaders. Animal (Begley), Interior (Begley), Metal (Begley), Misc (Begley), Nature (Begley) and Planet (Begley). Now the default shaders are stored in: (Carrara Folder)/Presets/Shaders/ There are 6 folders here also. Basic Metals, Basic Procedurals, Basic Refraction, Basic Shaders, Basic Transparancy and Complex Procedurals. The above "Basic" and "Begley" are all the shaders that were loaded when I loaded Carrara. I always to the "Custom Installations" for all software. So Im pretty sure I did it when I installed Carrara. Maybe there is a check box in there somewhere about loaded extra shaders.?? Not sure. Also - Yank out the Carrara CD's (2 of them) and look around for the folders. If you find them Just move them from the CD to your Hard disk. Then go into the Carrara Shader Browser and Add the new folders that you just copied to your HDD. I hope this helps.... If not you knwo where to get me.. ;) If it doesnt help let me know. We can get ya fixed! ;) Good luck and best regards, Clint

Clint You were correct again!!! It was the install and just for your info and now mine. On standard install you do not get Extra Presets, Tutorials, or Icon Manager. Now we all now. Thanks for your help. Tuck
