Hey do you guys have any ideas why my light works materials would be turning black?
my Internal Engine and Open GL look the way I want them to.

I'm confused....

You mean that they worked fine before and turned black today or new materials that you are making?

I think they call this the Jagger Effect.

It is new materials I am making that turn black.
I dont know what settings I have changed. None as far as I can tell, but, that is most likely not the cas, or I would not be having this problem, and of course I need to have this stuffdone by tomorow.


Jagger effect aye?

The Mick Jagger Effect oh young one.

When you make a new material using the internal engine you must MANUALLY TRANSFER THE VALUES to LightWorks

With the LightWorks Material Dialog Open find the "Match Internal Engine" Button.

Um, so I know that I need to manually set it to be the same, and when i do that is when they turn black.

Where are you saving your textures?
When you look at the material in LightWorks, does the file name appear in the right places?

I noticed that my custom maerials are loaded twice, would that matter?
I am waiting for it to unload one of the libraries now, my computer at home is super sucky slow, so this is a proccess.

K, well my textures are all loaded only once now, and they are still black.

By Graphisoft masked image dialogue do you mean the settings to the right - Under Set Perameters?


I see now that next to file name it is blank.
I am going tochange that now, see what happens.

I have never paid attention to that before, so I don't knwo if there is supposed to usually be anything there.
