Ted, My materials editor is giving me fits! First of all, when I Put to Library using <P> (after renaming) it's not listed. Secondly, materials don't look anything like the sample window when put into a scene. Any suggestions? Tim

Tim, Hmmm, don't hear of problems with the ME often. Are you picking on the name, renaming it, then typing P? If so, just drag the sample sphere to a new slot, make changes if necessary, type P, then rename it. As far as the material not looking the same in the scene, my first guess would be colored lights (check ambient, too) somewhere in the scene. Let me know if that helps.

Tim, In addition to what Ted said, just the fact that you have different lights in your scene from what the ME uses, will make a difference. Also, make sure that you have updated materials in your scene. (This will only apply if you change a material in the ME, and keep the same name) Bob W.
