Principled Shader missing

[Hunter & Tiff Eidmann]

I am still beating the “Oculus Medium textures into blender” horse, and After getting some advice from some other Oculus Medium artists, I was trying to use node editor to replicate what someone told me to do after I commented on a beautifully rendered image of their Medium sculpt in blender when I hit a snag.

They told me to use a Principled BDSF shader,  but I don’t have that on my add menu. I even searched it and it doesn’t come up.

Am I doing something wrong?

You’ll have to upgrade to 2.79b. The Principled shader isn’t in 2.78 (the version in your screenshot).

in fact it is the default shader in 2.79b…

turns out I needed to update blender. ugh, the simplest things take up so much frustration :/
