materials will not preview in windows 8
I am working with AutoCad architecture. I downloaded the latest materials library and am able to select materials in nxt and put them in my project but the libraries don't preview in the file manager so I must load every material into the project to see what it looks like. How can I get it to preview in the file manager. I just shows a red ball.

I would attempt to find the offending material first. If and when you find it-- I'd love to see it.

I did start the process. I sorted by date and worked one file at a time. I could see that as I drug, a transparent thumbnail appeared. All went well until about half way through the directory. I still couldnt tell the file, but I have the list narrowed down.
Not sure if its related, but my pc freaked out this morning doing a "refresh/bounce back and forth from desktop to start" loop. didnt give me time to click anything. finally got task manager up and found a "WINDOWS THUMBNAIL EXTRACTION.." loop under status. Finally got in enough to run restore and got it working again. I think (from searches) was from a windows update.
I'm scarred to go play with icons for a while :) i just tried and its still crashing the materials folder.

"The wooden texture of the TV-Console looks quite decent.
The Wallpaper on the left has an interesting structure, maybe it would look even better, if you make the texture seamless + applying a little bit of depth, e. g. with highpass - filter in PS?"
"Thank you for help on this topic!
Will test 'Automesher LT' (developed by Automapki), if I run into troubles again.

"Good day,
I searched the former forum posts and found another option to solve this problem which is another plugin to autocad-----AUTOMAPKI. You can give it a try."

3ds +obj import works for older files-'xfrog-plants', for instance... .Comments + Critics appreciated!Hopefully accurender still survives!
"Found 'Textured Mesh Support' only works with obj and 3ds Files which do not contain PBR Maps.
To 'obj' converted newer 3ds do not render in nXt :-("
