    Wireless Mouse Glitch

    My index and middle fingers have been feeling strained from SolidWorking, and I'm particularly concerned about hand health being a working musician, so I went out and bought a Microsoft Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 6000.

I can still access material...

    Glitch with Photoworks Materials...

    Hello all, I am in a real bind and any help would be greatly appreciated. Been using Photoworks for over a year now, so I thought I knew it pretty well. But all of a sudden, my renderings started coming out with all materials in "Light Concrete". I've tried EVERYthing, from changing materials...
