If you can’t see the effects of the shaders, make sure the “render shaders” button is checked - under your camera properties and under the general render properties. Try an obvious shader first - maybe gradient or glossy - so you will know for sure when it has kicked in. Also make sure you have some specular in the same material as many of the shaders are specular based.

I love the glosy and cook-torrence shaders but how different is blinn-phong to the 10.5 renderers’ specular realy? in 10.5 you can make the spec size realy big. If I use the Blinn-phong shader, then go to the standard one, I can pretty much get the same effect just by increasing the size.

they changed this after i wrote the blinnphong
shader.
i don’t know how they’ve implemented it, but
the falloff of the highlight may be different.
also, i have a blinnphong with a ‘metallic’ parameter which makes the highlight falloff in
a way more consistent with metal objects.
but, if you don’t like it… don’t use it.
I for one use them and think they are fantastic!!! Please keep updating them and I will use them!!!

I like it, just as I like the specular in 10.5, but I just wanted to know if there is a difference. Sometimes you can’t see the effect untill it is pointed out, then you can start to use it. I didn’t mean to soun un-appreciative. In fact, I think that what you are doing is wonderfull. I can’t wait for more shaders to play with.:love:
