Hi guys, May be someone can help me... I'm trying to make a MAT files applying/removing bumps from my character and here's the problem: Poser5 applies the bumps, but doesn't remove them: it doesn't disconnect the bump node. I've tested both MAT's in P4 and everything works just fine... Here's a sample of MAT applying the bumps: { figure { material SkinHead { bumpStrength 1 bumpMap ":HeadBump.jpg" 0 0 } (...) } } Here's the file which is supposed to remove them: { figure { material SkinHead { bumpStrength 0 bumpMap NO_MAP } (...) } } Any suggestions on what I'm missing? Larissa

Have you tried this just to see what would happen?
{
figure
{
material SkinHead
{
bumpStrength 0
bumpMap NO_MAP
0 0
}
(...)
}
}

Yes I tried that one too. P5 applies the first Mat no problem. The problem is that it doesn't want to remove the bumps after I apply the second MAT (with or whithout two zeros). The bump node is still connected...

Okay, but does it change the bumpstrength to zero? This may have something to do with the material nodes.

No it's still shows 1 or whatever bumpstrengh I apply in the first MAT

Try this..
Go into the material room and select a material on the figure and save it to the library.
Try it with the bump node connected and disconnected.
Then open that in a text editor and see what might be different.
I would do this myself, but I don't have the files to play with right now.
