Well, now I'm confused...

I had been using VSS on my Christel-B A4 character, Pamela.

This evening I started a new blank scene, loaded two new V4.2 characters, and applied a totally different skin texture (Bijou) to both of them. I then loaded the default VSS prop, deleted the rule node for and added a rule node for Victoria4, to synchronise only one of the two V4 figures. This worked fine, but....

The skin was was so completely different even in preview that I was immediately prompted to check the file list. In the list were Pamela's skin textures, as well as Bijou's. Huh???

I checked in the Material Room and sure enough the figure to which I had applied VSS had taken on Pamela's skin textures in place of Bijou's. I checked the VSS prop image maps - all set to None, as they should be.

bb... or anyone... any ideas why this should happen? Sorry if I'm being stupid, but I can't figure out how it is replacing my figure's textures with those I used previously in a completely different scene.

Thanks for any help.
