HMMMMM. tHIS IS WEIRD... Inserted 2 mushrooms into my scene...applied mats...the mushrooms disappeared from the scene...they did not appear in the render either... They worked fine prior to SR3...where did they go??? There is no transparency assigned in the material room. The mushrooms are still listed in the object lists.

Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it.
Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together.
All things connect......Chief Seattle, 1854
