Shader Preset
Ok.. Here;s feature request.
I want to be able to build a complex, multi-layer shader, say in Color, and COPY all those complex shader components and use them in the “Bump Map” settings.
ie.. Make a Wood type texture, and use that same texture shader as the wood bump.Is there a fast way to copy and past, or save part of a shader as a preset?
I’m sure I could jot down the setting and remake them, but would be outstanding to copy paste, or better yet, link themPS.. We are having a blast with it.

Hi William.
Here’s how to do it:
1. Click on the Shader preview image that you want to copy (the image to the left of the Color checkbox).
2. Type Cmd+C (or Control+C on Windows) to copy it.
3. Click on the Shader preview image where you want it to be pasted (the image to the left of the Bump checkbox).
(you may have to add a default Bump shader before you can select the preview image)
4. Type Cmd+P (or Control+P).Note that you can copy like types, so Shader to Shader, Shader Block to Shader Block, and Material Channel to Material Channel.
Let us know if you have any questions.

Hi William,
For Matt’s directions, step 4 should read “Type Cmd+V (or Control+V)” to paste the the Shader.
Hope this helps.
Best,

Thanks Ed.
My coffee hadn’t quite done its job yet this morning.
No, you can’t print (Cmd+P) shaders. Cmd+V will do the paste.
