      thanks very much for your answer.
      So there is no way to get Infos out of the Layer-Shader? That would be bad 😕
      Thats nearly the whole purpose of my plugin, d'oh

        Have you tried getting the layer shader and then browse through it with layershader->GetDown(); and then GetNext()? Not sure if this works, but worth a try. 🙂

              You're right, that will work to get the actual sub-shaders. However, I double checked with the develoepers and there's no way to access the actual SLA_BLEND structure. So you won't be able to access the blend parameters for the layers etc.

                hmm, ok thanks. the blend parameters whould also have been nice, but subshaders is a good start 😉
                I'll post the plugin here when i finished it

                  Old thread revive - I take it that it is still not possible to access the layer shader properly?

                      Huh!  Well i`ll be damned..

                      Weird how they`ve included LayerShader in the docs and no mention of Fusion for example ( at least from what i can see ) even though fusion is accessible..

                      Cheers Niklas.

                        The word "properly" can mean different things to different people.
                        AFAIK. We still cannot insert or remove shaders from the Layer Shader. And I don't think Maxon intends on fixing that in any future releases.

                        Therefore.
                        It's my own personal opinion that we do not have "proper" access to it. And never will.
