Copying Shader Settings?

Fauvist

If I have a bodysuit with a texture/materil/shader that I want to use on a different bodysuit which is a different product altogether - is it possible for me to somehow copy all the shader settings, and apply them to the 2nd bodysuite?  I know the actual material is fitted to the product itself, so that can't be copied.

Thanks!

Select the suit and a surface, File>Save As>Shader presert, then select the other suit and the surfaces you want to chnage and double-click the saved Shader Preset. Bear in mind that the UVs will almost certainly not match, so textues will not apply correctly (if you want the settings on the existing maps hold down ctrl(Win)/cmd(Mac) while double-clicking and in the dialogue choose ignore for Maps).

You can also go to the surface tab and copy surface you want (right click>copy selected surfaces) and then same and paste to selected surfaces on the other suit. In this case it's important that shader (if either iray or 3delight) matches ie, copy iray to iray or 3delight to 3delight, because that information will not paste automatically if different, to the best of my knowledge.
