sorry for such a basic question but i do not use maya but have to for a freelance project.....i downloaded some shaders and was wondering how to i incorporate them into maya so they are available for me to use each time i open maya?

to do a general (temporary) import: Hypershade > File > Import. once you save the scene the shader will be saved in that scene as well.

for a more permanent solution place the shader in your shader folder: X:/AW/ShaderLibrary/Shaders. you can then find the new shader by going to the Hypershade window > Shader Library tab (next to the workarea tab).

times i mentioned the term 'shade' in this post: 10 :D

hope that helps.
