Ack! My material room has gone insane. I am using P6.

When I flip over to the Material room- Advanced, the "Poser Surface" and any nodes I have connected to my figure "Blink" or "Flash"  visible .. invisible.. over and over. The hour glass shows up when the nodes flash invisible. I've selected other parts of my scene and the same thing happens. This only happens in the Material room advanced. And appears to only happen with 1 particular scene I'm working on.

I loaded a different scene and had no problem. Which leads me to believe there is an issue with the 1 scene. However, It worked fine 2 hours ago, and I made no changes to it.

This problem happened one time before,  but upon closing and rebooting Poser, It stopped. This time I've even rebooted my machine.

Any suggestions??

Thank you

I  have sent a bug report to Curious Labs about this. I get it also, it's intermittent.. I don't believe it has anything to do with the scene. It happens very often when I am tweaking materials on a single item loaded in the scene, so it's not because the scene is bloated. I also reboot, it's always better to start a Poser session with a fresh reboot anyways. Make a bug report, they got back to me right away asking me what conditions made it happen, so if they get enough reports they will do something.

Did you install the SR2 ?

You might try another (unparented?) camera. I think sr2 fixed the face and hand cams.

SR2 is istalled. It's a strange problem.

 Yes I have installed aSR2. I tried the scene again today and still getting that flashing Material room action. Good idea about reporting it as a bug.. Will do that!!!

Thanks!

Does switching cameras eleviate the problem? I get also but it seemed to happen when I was using one particular character that I had created. Everything would be fine til I loaded him in the scene and then wanted to tweak one of his materials. Then the material room would go ga-ga. David

I'm going to try that (camera switch).. Will let you know..
