The best method I know of for creating a seamless texture is open the texture in photoshop offset the image by 30 pixels up and across and set the offset to wrap around ...

Yup
LayeredShader
I'm hooked on the concept =]

Trying MR now....
And it works with MR

Ahah
I just did that =P
Okay, now it works... something that stupid

Okay what the fuck... The ORDER for the layered shader is odd... the one to the left is on "top" I guess, and the ones to the right are lower...
So you add the top first, and then all the on ...

If I assign the input[3] texture (the one with the decals) to something, it shows up just fine, proper color, transparency, etc...

Hm... MayaSoft isn't rendering it either...
Tried a few different things. =P

Yah
I agree, and I do need to learn them better.... baby steps so far

Vertox: yah... that connection list could get hairy though.

Uhmm.... Composite... it was basically "mix" but with Alpha channels and supported numerous shaders
Vertox: yah, I'm sure. It just seems like not using Layered Shader would reduce the modula ...

Man... that's pretty sadening.

That's pretty shitty
Because I really liked Layered Shaders in Max
I was hoping node-based layered shaders would be even more hoss, but if MR can't do it... then... Fuck MentalImages

I'm using > Layered Shader <
Oh, it might be a MR problem then. =P

Yes, I'm trying that...

So ButtonTextShader.outTransparency linked to input[3].transparency won't cut it?

Kiffy20: yes. there are softwares that can put something always on top
But the way windows interface is built, another "always on top" software can go on top of another always on top-softwar ...

Hi...
Do you guys use the stencil shader type at all?

I won't quit my dayjob, hehe

Patience I dont have

Hehe, yea, makes sense in a way

Surely, just being part of the beta testing team must bring some obligations?

Looks like it needs more polys to make a good displace
Real displace adds more where needed, but maybe maya don't have that

np

just assign the shadow/matte material to the object you just want a shadow from

use shadow/matte material
