yup. I've tried AuxPecker. Hyltom built a nice utility, didn't he? But i'd already built many of my own custom shade modes for ceramic, toon, wax, brushed metal, auto-paint, medical x-ray (that's a really cool one ! ) and i like the results of my own maps. they are optimized to blend the shading effect of the emap with the object's color. So i'm not restricted to the map's color. Hyltom should add a blend adjuster in there. that would be really good...
