Introduction

---

Tiling surface textures is possible under Daz Studio 1 and 2, as long as you use  Software renders and the proper shader

---

Installation

---

The zip package is found at the bottom of this page

unzip it in your daz studio folder, typically C:\Program Files\DAZ\Studio\

once installed, it will appear in your content library, under Studio / Shaders / mcjGlossy

Note: usually we unzip the zips into the content folder, but this time it's the Studio folder

note: the following files are installed

• scripts\support\DAZ\shaderDefinitions\surface\mcjglossyDef.ds
• scripts\support\DAZ\shaderDefinitions\surface\mcjdefaultglossySurf.ds
• scripts\support\DAZ\shaderDefinitions\displacement\mcjdisplaceSurf.ds
  
• content\shaders\mcjGlossy.ds
• content\shaders\mcjGlossy.ds.png
• shaders\mcjglossy.sdl
• shaders\mcjglossy.sl ( the source! )
• shaders\mcjdisplace.sdl
• shaders\mcjdisplace.sl ( the source! )

we count of the presence of the default Daz Studio shaders on your computer

• scripts/support/DAZ/rendertime/surface/dzDefaultAttribs.ds" );
• scripts/support/DAZ/shaderDefinitions/surface/dzdefaultshadowSurf.ds" );
• scripts/support/DAZ/rendertime/surface/dzDefaultShadowAttribs.ds" );
• scripts/support/DAZ/rendertime/displacement/dzDefaultDisplaceAttribs.ds" );
• shaders/dzdefaultshadow.sdl

if those files are not present on your computer

you can download them from the attachments section  - see below

beware that installing this on Daz Studio 3 or 4 may break your shaders !
so they should probably/possibly/maybe only be used by DS 1 and 2

---

Use

---

Select the object to be shaded

Select the surface(s) to be shaded

double-left-click on the mcjGlossy shader icon

done

go in the surfaces tab

if all went well, the surface shader will be headlined "mcj Glossy Plastic

and there will be a "Tiling" section with 4 sliders that let you control texture placement and tiling.

Note that the 3d viewport will not show the surfaces as tiled,

but the Software renders will !
