Losing the material definition

[Alejandro Testa]

Hi Roy, I am using last Nxt version . I rendered an image last night everything goes OK.  I switched off the computer. Today I switched on the computer, open the saved drawing  start a new render and all the complex materials ( I think all of them has jpg, or png textures embedded) appear white, but the preview show the apparent material, when I edit  them they are all white, I have to reload every material individually from my hard disk  to  start rendering again. Any thoughts?

Thabk in advance,

Alejandro

Not really-- probably something bad happened during the last drawing save.  Let me know if you see any additional strangeness.  Backup your work.

Must have use the inbuilt ME to create the materials and not the Standalone ME. This happens to me sometimes so even if I use the inbuilt ME, I ensure I "Save Material To File"

i can fix this for you...:)

1)Start your cad file.

2)Select from nxt menu-- the remove material button and select all the model and press ENTER.

3)re-start your render and the will re-appear with their maps you assigned previously

trust me i tried it before.

Hi Mike, thanks, I already tried your solution but no luck  ,  this time is something different, Fortunately is not a very complex model with tons of materials.
