    Hi all

    Here’s my problem: I created a path in Photoshop, opened it in Cinema, extruded it, and now im trying to add a HDR reflection to it. I created a new material, went to color tab, and placed the HDR texture. Now it shows the HDR in the material sphere. Then i added the material to the Extrude NURBS, and i can only see it on the Extruded part, not in the original path. i added the material on the original path too but it didnt help. Please help! Thanks in advance 🙂

    you can’t add a texture to a spline because splines don’t render (not in this case anyway). Probably you don’t see your texture because of the angle to the front face. Try putting some other image in your material that has some bright color (just to see if it is there)

    Thanks Brian, it worked. I tried a bright violet HDR this time, and the path went violet. Most of my HDR’s are white and big, so i couldn’t see the difference.
