Quote - If you're having trouble with the normal Blender Render materials DO NOT go to the Cycles engine yet!  The loading of textures and bumps and Specs with the node system is a major change in thinking. 

Then again it works really well and starts making sense if you use it enough.  CGcookie and Blenderguru both have good tutorials showing the new cycles engine and the new way you put in textures.

So, am I to understand that in order to add back all those UV-mapped textures to, say, V4, you can't just add them in the checkered-box Textures area? When I imported V4 to Blender, in that section for each region I see a Kd.024, for example, and the preview is black. Under image it actually has the image file listed. I delete this, then add it back again... now the image displays in the preview, but in my 3D view, in Texture mode, my figure is purple/lilac. What might I be doing wrong? Also, SSS is not ticked.
