Quote - Hi :)

I need a lillte help with Reality/Lux. I bought Flinks Water FX from the MP and it doesn't work in Lux. The pack contains water drops, sprays, puddles etc. and work fine in Studio and Poser (they are in pp2 and obj format) but when I add the water material within Reality the prop just stays plain darkish color. And a warning of inconsistent vertices shows in Lux. Any help is appreciated

I've used Flinks rain successfully several times; convert the material to Water in Reality (leave as Clear water) with the ripple all the way down to zero. You can add a bit of color but I try to get it as close to the environment it's sitting it, if not just a straight puddle or whatnot. The preview box will look black, but it renders fine. 

For the puddle obj's, you can set it to SubD through Studio with edit--Geometry--Convert to SubD. This may or may not trip the vertex winding in Lux, but I've had some that do and it renders fine regardless.

Matter of fact, I did one yesterday that ran the error and came out fine. Post a pic in a minute.
