Yes, I know about those tricks and I think they were a clever idea to overcome the CUDA limitations. Conversely, I had some issues with the plugin related to this and other things discussed in another thread. Some of them are about the default plugin settings for converting DS skin shader materials.

I noticed, those grouping were a great idea to overcome the CUDA slot limitations, but I had some issues with the default types of materials converted by the plugin, and also how the default groups were organized. I have started a separate thread for that, though. ^^
