I'm afraid it's not possible to access the new Layer shader in C.O.F.F.E.E.

Is this still true in 2009? I'm trying to construct a material from scratch with C.O.F.F.E.E:

The plugin generates a handful of vertex maps and I want to color the object with them automatically. My manual protocol works fine, now I just need to get the plugin to do the same thing.

Done:
Construct a new material
Apply new material to specific object
Generate vertex maps from provided data

ToDo:
Create a LayerShader in the CHANNEL_COLOR box
In the Layer Shader:
   Create 3 new ColorShaders R, G, B
   Create 3 new VertexMapShaders
      Set each VertexMapShader to LayerMask
      Fill #SLA_DIRTY_VMAP_OBJECT with the appropriate VertexMap Tags from the object.

Are any of these things on my ToDo list possible? So far, I can only put a texture path into the CH_TEXTURE box, not a layer, let alone access the layers other details.
Thanks,
Graham

Access to the LayerShader is currently vey limited in C++ and not possible at all in COFFEE.
