Something is definitely broken!!!

I still have Corel Bryce 5.0 Installed so I decided to try the tutorial again with v5.0  I have the tutorial memorized so it was a piece of cake doing it from scratch.

Right away I knew things were working, because I could scrub the Time Line within the Materials Lab and the Material Editor numbers were changing. 

So I rendered the animation in Bryce 5.0 and voila!!! It worked just like it should.

I went back to Bryce 6.1 and re-did the scene just to be sure and no luck…scrubbing makes no difference in the Materials lab.. the numbers don’t change. 

So I saved my Bryce 5.0 Scene and re-loaded into Bryce 6.1 and rendered the animation and no go!!!

 So Something is not working.
