Hi folks, Over the last twenty minutes Ive been fighting a losing battle with a type 2 error. Im in the process of shading a sailboat. Im working on the masts. Ive a couple of shaders that Im trying to apply to the three main masts and the cross sections. Pretty much every time I use the eyedropper tool to sample the shader from one mast to apply to the next, Carrara shuts down and I get a error type 2 message. I managed to get them done by saving after shading each part, but I had to restart carrara after almost each operation. Any comments? Has this happenned to you? Im using a mac powerbook G3/500 with tons of ram, and yes I did try restarting the computer. I also got rid of a lot of unused shaders that were litering the sequencer tray (just in case). Cheers, Max
