In small test scenes it's not a big deal but when I have a scene with multiple figures and props that I've spent large amounts of time working on, I want to scream when I open my scene back up again only to be greeted by everything being reverted to Glossy. This has happened to me way too many times already in multiple scenes and I'm starting to get frustrated. I tried looking back and seeing if I did anything wrong but I installed Reality 3.1 exactly the way the instructions stated, I'm assuming that Reality wouldn't run if I did something wrong with the installationg.
K, so I tried a few experiments, I saved a simple file containing a ball prop, a mesh light and the reality cube. The only material that was altered was the ball props and I let it render. I saved the scene and shut it down. I closed Poser down and opened it up again, the material was still as I set it. I did this a few more times and it was still edited, I give up, open up one of the scenes I was seriously working on, render for a bit and I had to close the comp due to a storm. I turned the comp back on and opened the scene and my materials were all Glossy again...
Reality renders look so awesome but I'm become disheartened with this issue. Does anyone know what's going on here?
If it helps:
Win7 Pro 64 bit, Poser Pro 2014, Reality 3.1/Lux 3.1
