Thanks Jordi, A quick couple of questions about your shading introduction. On page 152 you say you add the lambert shader to the BSDF port as you're using the PBR engine. OK So this is making a few assumptions. PBR Engine? How do I switch to that? Why that one? How would I know to connect the BSDF port and not the Colour port?
Thanks for your help, it's much appreciated.
