    Hello,

    Well, I got a nasty bug that caused me to wipe my HD.
    So I have had to reformat Disk and reinstall WinXp

    I reinstalled C4d and am having problems.

    I keep opening a model and the materials are on in editor for one model that was UV mapped and textured, but not when render.
    I will get the texture error though the psd’s are in with the model and save file. in same location etc.I have redone this several times remap and it is same each time.I save the model and when reopened,
    texture error on render view or rendering.I have to remap and texture in PS each time if I want to animate and render this one.

    Another model.just has 2 alpha maps in transparency channel.
    Keep getting texture error. The materials seem un assigned, when I re
    do them i still get same- I will add the texture or alpha map or image and get Black.clear image, layers and black.in fact in the layers I cant even access the material/image.have to completely redo from scratch. Then when I save it and come back it is same?

    I also have noticed when I add a sky, I cannot change most attributes in manager. turn off cloud layers and no effect.
    almost all the attributes do not seem to work or can be changed and change in scene(perspective view)

    even enable/disable clouds does not work. even lights on model will not work.

    Any one have a clue why this is happening? how to correct.
    Some I have changed texture paths-removed and add new and still black.

    Please and thanks

    update- well some things are working. it seems that the actual image/maps although seem ok in PS
    are not viable now for some reason. I removed the materials tags and created new ones and it seems to work.Odd that nothing wrong with images will not work in c4d. still have sky- clouds issue and save issue with 1st model.

    well- discovered now also I cannot animate-set keyframes in attributes either.

    only will accept one value at any point- WILL nOT ACCEPT CHANGES.
    WILL NOT ACCEPT OTHER VALUES.

    What is up?
