getting lots of errors like this when i drop a shader onto the shader list.  made a standard feather preset and dropped a vray shader on it.

cut and paste from the text editor

here is a screen shot when i create a simple sphere and add the feather preset.

add 3 shaders in the shader list and connect vrayMtls

i versioned up to vray_adv_36005_28400

can you post a file that has the connections correctly attached so i can see whats going on?

Jeordanis did you see my request on a sample file that shows the proper node editor connections for the shader list?

thanks!  awesome! you guys saved the day!
