    In this video you will learn how to create metal iray shaders in Daz Studio.

    You will also learn how to save your iray shaders and how you can use metallic flakes to enhance your metal iray shaders.

    Please try to remember to call them Shader Preets not Shaders there is a difference and its better if people learn early on to avoid confusion.

    Fair point because I remember when I started to learn this I was confused all the time. I will rename the titles as suggested. Thanks for this.

    In this video you will learn how to create your very own fabric iray shader presets in Daz Studio.

    I will be covering how to create leather, satin and see-through clothing.

    You will also learn how to fit older clothing to Genesis 8 figures and how to layer clothing.

    Sorry, I made a mistake in the video. You can save your fabric shader as a shader preset. Please click the link to learn how to do this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fp6aEROZLXKG9pSpI5_4yDMfgxNFM7cA/view

    I want to be completely transparent with all of you on my journey. So any big changes that are implemented will be shared here and on IG.

    Since I've been monetised on YouTube I will be rolling ads to all my YouTube videos. This is a testing phase and I have not rolled all the different types of ads you can have since I don't want to deter you from learning the skills that will help you to flourish.

    I'm like you I don't want to see gazillions of ads on one video when I am learning something. However, I do understand that the person making the YouTube videos needs to make a form of income and finding the correct balance is a learning process.

    What I would like to know is if a specific YouTube video has too many ads, then let me know in the comments of that YouTube video so I can adjust the ad ratio on that specific YouTube video.
