Hi Guys,
again thanks for the replies.
Krusty, by 2 material files you mean the bumpmat.txt and the material file yes? Both of those files are identical. With the bump mapping box unticked it is "slightly" more reflective, not much though.
Hornet, I believe that the skin viewer was updated to specificaly counter that problem, however I did take the material from the base folder and move it to the _1 folder but to no avail.
I have 8 files in the folder, B29, B291, B291_B, B291_B_a, B29_B_d, bumpmat, info and Material.
Tks.
