I know that access to the layer shader is pretty limited with C++ but is it possible to insert a layer shader in to a channel and then insert a noise shader and a fresnel shader in to that layer shader?
Thanks

Limited? In what regard?
If you search in the SDK for "Layer", you find a wealth of information about LayerShader, LayerShaderLibrary and a host of parameters.
I might be wrong, but that doesn't look very limited to me at the first glance.

Okay... really a gap in the SDK.
Means that answer to original question is NO.

Is there any hope of getting this working or is there some sort of workaround? We need to dynamically update the shaders in the layer channel for our plugin to function...Its the icing on a very big cake! I've tried dozens of unskilled attempts, the commented stuff below crashes, and the current stuff doesn't put anything into my layer shader-just makes an empty one:
// Failed attempts at layer shader!!!
PluginShader *shd2 = NULL;
shd2 = PluginShader::Alloc(Xlayer);
if(!shd2) return FALSE;
// LayerShader *lshd2 = (LayerShader* )shd2;
// LayerShaderLayer *layer = NULL;
// lshd2->InsertShader(bmp, NULL); // This breaks it!!!
// lshd2->Message(MSG_UPDATE);
BaseContainer *shd2data = shd2->GetDataInstance();
shd2data->SetData(SLA_LAYER_BLEND, BlendColor);
Thanks,
