Nope..
They are in the 5.0\bonusTools5.0\prefs\icons folder.. shift the ones you require into your 5.0\prefs\icons.

Why they don't source from that folder is beyond me.. :shrug:
The Freckles procedural is neat :D

No problemo. :)

I noticed two of my renderNodes were missing icons, and seriously delaying Hypershade on startup, seems Maya looks several times for the missing icons :shrug:
Not sure why Alias didn't make all the textures/materials icons, but oh well.

I made two icons (Skin Shader | Splatter Texture )
