Ok... I uninstalled 1.1 and installed 1.5... when I try and open the balloon_red file I get nothing... please, I'm feeling like an idiot... what am I doing wrong? I put the MXM in the materials section of the program directory... Arrrggghhhh!

Try to open the material in Studio.

This is almost funny... I tried to open it in Studio and get the same thing - NOTHING! LOL...

Now it's personal...

Mike you should capture a video of your progress, seriously.

This is really too funny... in a parallel universe way... here it is everyone is commenting on how great the surface is... I need it for a project I'm working on and NOTHING I do is working! I've finally given in and got rid of 1.1 and running 1.5. I waited because the Lightwave plugin wasn't great (works just fine now)... I can open any other MXM, I can load my old scenes, update the surfaces and render just fine - Studio or through the plugin. I can open my old surfaces in Studio and the editor - I JUST CAN'T GET THIS ONE WORKING!

[tom]

Oh, I've put anit-Mike features in this

[mtripoli]

Very funny Tom, very funny...

Alright, just to cover EVERYTHING! Where should I put the MXM file to begin with (hey, watch it)...? I put it in the MR MXM directory. Something odd about this; normally when loading a new MXM it stops and asks for the path to jpg's etc. This one does nothing, just loads up as a new BSDF, that's it...

[mtripoli]

OH JOY OF JOYS! HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY! IT's working...

[tom]

Cool

Thanks for uploading that.

With the first transparent layer why did you make the reflectance (0) black and the reflectance (90) pink and not vice versa... whats the reasoning behind setting it this way round?

[w i l l]

Oh is that sort of a ghost layer like for AGS?
