This is really wonky. I've never seen this before, in three years of playing with this programme. LOL I have a conforming figure right now (the SUDI boots from the armour set), that when I assign the textures to the material, it 'shows' prior to rendering. However, when I render... the one surface does NOT pick up the texture, while the other part of the surface DOES. The pic shows what I mean. I was working on Ruby a bit more, making a pic for the ad picture, and was going to use these boots (I LOVE the things, and they work with her...), but if I can't texture them... :( The model on the right is non-rendered, the one on the left is what it looks like when I render... Anyone have any ideas? Yes, I checked to make sure the texture map was set to 100 percent, and I double checked and it is indeed showing the texture file there. I'm at a loss. :/ Can't figure out how to get these things to pick up the textures I'm assigning! ~Seliah
