Nine thousand nine-hundred ninety-nine (9999) is the natural number following 9998 and preceding 10000.
9999 can be used as a divisor to generate 4-digit decimal recurrences. For example, 1234 / 9999 = 0.123412341234... .
9999 is an auspicious number in Chinese folklore. The original layout for the Forbidden City had 9999 rooms. Valerie Hansen in 'Negotiating Daily Life in Traditional China: How Ordinary People Used Contracts, 600-1400 (Yale University Press, 1995) mentioned that Chinese tomb contracts often involved being buried with 9999 coins, relational notion to Joss paper, as it was believed the dead would need that amount to buy the burial plot from the Earth goddess.

shading in modo it's easy...it's like using photoshop...you do it by adding layers on top of the material...then you start modifying the blending of each layer to get the look you want...
and also every layer you add, can be linked to a property in a material.....so, if you add a "noise" layer on top of the material, this layer can be for diffuse color, diffuse amount, bump, etc, etc.....this works like any other software....BUT...in modo it's easy to understand and "see" how the shader it's contructed.......i get lost often in 3dsmax, just because you see one window of a material property at a time, and all is staked-up in a way that you can not "see far away" the material...
google "shader tree" for modo..there are lots of tutorials...
good luck!!
