Guys,

Attached you'll see a crudimentary tower I'm creating, C.
The problem is, I can't get it created because it apparently does not like the .mat chosen, a lovely Normandy stone by Linda, aka FrenchKiss.
All the mats are accompanied by a .jpg, but I've noticed the standard mats that came with Vue4 are not.
Are these .jpg's supposed to be in a place other than the file folder containing the associated mat?
I ask because, not matter where I put it, Vue isn't happy. If you'll read error A, that's what I get when I launch this particular file (even though the .jpg file is present in the folder along with the mat file. And no, the .jpg is not corrupted - it opens fine in several paint programs). Okay...so I move the file to the place it "looked for it," relaunch, and then I get the error B...telling me it can't locate it back in the original place I had it! What does Vue4 want? It's already so buggy it has my sanity.
So, I will yet AGAIN import the .jpg into the Materials Editor, D. Then a short time later, without any changes, it once again "loses it" E, and I have to import again.
During all this time, I get 2 or 3 modifications in on the tower (resizing, adding elements, etc.) before it has a fatal error. Yet, despite all Vue's grumbling about this .jpg, it still renders it even though it can't "find it."
I would have bagged this mat long ago but the client loves it. (I do, too) and my deadline is looming - can someone toss a few jewels of wisdom my way?
