Rendered Assy Losing Material Defs in Animation
Rendered Assy Losing Material Defs in Animation
(OP)
I have a rendered assembly. Every time I make an animation - a time consuming process at best - I lose material definitions for over half my parts.

Any clues, I'm new at this rendering/animation thing.

RE: Rendered Assy Losing Material Defs in Animation
One thing you may want to check is something within PhotoWorks. Under the PhotoWorks > Options menu, check what you have selected in the Material tab. You should check "overwrite SW properties on select/edit" and not check "apply SW properties for render". (I got this from a killer tutorial on decals by Ed Eaton--HIGHLY recommend it for other useful tips.)
