Hi Fabrice,
Thanks a lot for the infos. Few questions if you allow:

How do you do that? What impact did it have exactly?
> - Dirtmap shader had some pblms when applied as a saved preset

You mean that everytime you bring in the dirtmap shader you type-in or run a
script to set the proper parameters?
Thanks
Bernard
