Preset shaders
Preset shaders can greatly speed things up. We want a gold base to our Tiffany lamp
and some black sticks with some luster for our lampshade support. Select our original

Presets
tab. Now drag the
Gold_Basic

that has tons of useful stuff in it. If you find surfacing a bit boring and want
to speed it up considerably, you may wish to obtain this expansion. Your result should
