Are there *any* tutorials, free or paid, for Shader Mixer?

  Yep - in the store.  Totally free.  http://www.daz3d.com/shader-mixer-tutorial-i     This was done when the shader mixer first came out, so things might have changed.  But at least it's a start.

  Hi Laurie

  Have you seen Carnite's channel on youtube?

  They are old now but the biggest difference is Shader Mixer changing from right-to-left flow to a more conventional left-to-right connecting of the blocks.

  There is a sticky with shader mixer tutorials at Daz Studio discussion in case you missed it.

  It's actually always defaulted to the "conventional" left-to-right flow.  Some of us (myself included), were primarily trained in on the P5+ Material Room and its right-to-left flow, so we've always (and still) checked that block in ShaderMixer's "Options" dialogue.

  Look also at the code samples in the Shader Mixer thread:  they're all 3DL (most are pre-Iray) but they should give you a good idea of how the various nodes work and work together.

  I figured out how to make a cloud shader, but it only renders in 3Delight.  How do you get it to show up in IRAY renderer?
