hey guys!

I read the "Shades of Davy Jones" article, and he mentioned an 'uber-shader'. I got to looking at what other people were saying about it, and that got me excited. I want to go into the movie animation and character design industry, so I was wondering how I would go about making an ubershader in maya. I have Maya 8 Unlimited, just in case there are version issues. I've used it for 1-2 years now, so you can pretty much throw any tutorial at me(not trying to brag, just want to get the point across).


thx ahead of time,
-Chris

I have no first hand knowldge of this shader, but from what's been described, their uber shader just sounds like a large shader with lots of layers. So I don't think there's anything magical behind the shader, it's just complex and has a lot of controls for doing a lot of different things.
