Tutorial: PM Shading and Materials

In Zbrush2, I made a quick recorded script of how to properly embed different Shading and/or Materials, into a single Texture map using Projection Master. You can find the original link here: http://zbrushcentral.com/zbc/showthread.php?t=18153
For Zbrush3, I re-visited it, and made a tutorial out of it.

By default, using Projection Master, creates self-shading, which will damage your existing textures. You can avoid this by making your canvas a Flat material first, before painting. The Tutorial will do the following 3 things, and it will use a technique, used by the FlatCanvas plug-in I created. 1st it drops a fiber filled ring, using shaded option. 2nd it drops a shiny ball, using material option 3rd it drops another fiber ring, this time with both shaded and materials on.

PS. For those new to Zbrush, and don't know how to run a Zscript Tutorial, here's how. Goto the Zscript palette, and press Load, and pick my zscript txt file. At the bottom of the ZBrush3 UI, is a pair of arrows, letting you know you can drag it up. Drag it up to expose the script GUI area, and press the Play Button.
