"what brokered items at Renderosity do not load into the specified software" You're missing the point here I think. Incorrect references in the way we're discussing WILL work some times. The problem is, incorrect references, while they technically function, will not always function correctly if there is another image by the same name anywhere in the Textures path. And when they do work, they take a very long time to load whereas loading is virtually instant when done correctly. Most MAT file creators out there create incorrect(incomplete) references, and the product creators using them don't bother to take all of 5 seconds to check. In the end, Everyone who gets that product suffers for their laziness. I've had a slow day here today, only archiving 19 products. But of those 19, all were released this year, and only 2 had correct referencing. So you can see it is on an 'occasional' problem. This sort of referencing is not an error in spelling, it is either something forgotten or left incorrect as a matter of laziness. To make an analogy from my subject title, a better one would be if I had neglected to enter one at all. ;)
