Hi Jd,

could you please do the following test:

create a new rhino file

make a new material assign a normal map in the bump slot, activate "N" for normal map.

save the file

reopen.

for me, the setting is lost every time i reopen the document.

it also concerns legacy documents/materials from older scenes.


thanks,

daniel

Thanks, yes this is broken (I was just made aware of it a few days ago). Not exactly a useable workaround, but for what it's worth, if Flip Y, Flip X, or Wide Z are set to non-default values, it will be read/written correctly. One other workaround is to use a linked MXM, as this does not affect read/write of MXM files.
