Hi Kent!! Love this but my question is.. when I remove the viewer node and plug the final node into the surface option of the output.. the model goes black. You didn't mention why we need to have the viewer node. Any thoughts?

    The viewer node is essentially an emission node packed as a convenient "viewer node" to correlate with the Viewer node in the Compositor. So there's no problem with keeping it. I'm curious - Why did you remove the node when I didn't do that in the video?

    Let's call it a habit :) Not sure why, but I tend to always remove it when I'm done previewing a shader.
