What It Does
The Create Shader dialog box allows you to create shaders that are not listed in the Shading menu or
Shaders palette. These shaders are primarily those that do not use Lambertian diffuse shading. However,
options for Lambertian diffuse shading are still included in the Create Shader dialog, so you can customize
your shaders however you want.
