JWF:
In the screen shot of the template, you cut off the top so I can't see which template zone that is.
Why does this matter?
Because you show me a PR3 shader in a template, but on your figure is the PR2 shader. That means the template you screen shoted is not being copied to the figure. I'd know better what is happening if you went to the figure and loaded a non-VSS shader first. Then you could find out which is the case: 1) not changing the figure at all, or 2) changing the figure to some other template than the one you think it is.
Have you looked at the information printed by VSS when you Synchronize for the first time in a session? It tells you the names of the templates it is copying and the names of the target material zones it is copying them to. If it is not saying any of those, then I'd have to wonder if you've re-configured the control prop to ignore your figure altogether.
Is this clear? Failure to copy what you expect can be:
It's clear to me you didn't notice the significance of the fact that those two shaders look nothing like each other. VSS copies the nodes exactly into the target, including all the PM: nodes. Since they're not there its clear that the PR3 shader is not being copied. I just don't know why you have a PR2 shader on the figure. You didn't say what the initial state of the figure was before you tried to Synchronize.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
