Adding shaders to Maya's shader library

[lftantillo]

How do you create file folders and add your own custom shaders to Maya's Shader Library? Can this be done easily from within the Maya program?

go to the hypershade. In the bottom part of it there is a tab for work area and another for Shader Library. Go there and in the left part it will show you the location of the custom shader library folder. You can then select a shader and go to file->export (inside the hypershade) and save it to that location.
