Shader_Trouble

[hopping]

I just got maya 7 unlimited and as im kinda new to maya im gonna ask amoe newbie questions.

I downloaded some shaders from the www, and was wondering how I can import them in to maya so that I can use them on my models?

[brandeil]

First of all are they maya shaders, second, look were they are stored in your program files directory under alies, or whatever M7 uses. U should see a shaders directory and then u can create a folder and place the shaders in their and then brows them from maya hypershader window.
if u are new to maya I sugest u get the maya basics kit, well worth the money and u get lots of information mto make u comfortable in Maya, Bubba would be the next one I recomend.
Have fun :)

To import first go to window/rendering editors/

hypershade.

in that hypershade window file/import/path of ur shader which downloaded

check the exstension of the shader , if it is .ma,
in the import format option u have to click on
.ma or thae same extension. u will get that shader into the hypershader window
