Thanks Niko. It does make sense and it does help. So when I make those
connections, it seems as though the original blinn is completely
ignored and I am left with using the 5 or so parameters in the
dgs_material? or maybe that's my problem as you said dgs_shader, but
did you mean dgs_material? or is there such a thing as dgs_shader?
Assuming I did it correctly, is it true that I need to define my
surface using only the controls in dgs_material? or should I be looking
for some sort of layered solution to get more control?
What is the purpose of "Supress All Maya Shaders"? It seems self
explanatory but in my case it doesn't seem to make a difference.
Thanks again for the help.
