PW Material Bug

PW Material Bug

PW Material Bug

(OP)
I've found another little quirk with '08 version 0.0.  The PhotoWorks / Realview appearance of "Polished Oak" cannot be rotated.  It's a strange one, and I'm sure it won't effect very many people.  But it got under my skin the other day when I was trying to do a quick render on something, and I can't afford to loose any more hair!

Once again, I suffer so that you may survive...

I don't have '08 on my machine here, Rob.  But from what I recall, I have it applied to the whole part, and the mapping type was set to projection.  The appearance changes with the angle on the preview, but when I do the render it's locked in one position.  It's just this one material.  I tried it on two computers, and confirmed with the VAR.  What SP are you running?

RE: PW Material Bug

I'm on 0.0 but I didn't try to actually render the part.  I just relied on the preview to be correct.  My bad.  

I do know SP 1.0 (currently in EV) has some PhotoWorks bug fixes (not sure if this is one of them).  You might want to upgrade once it hits the street.
