just trying to work with some shaders, and gettig a few weird things. Like creating a cube, a cylinder or ANY new item shape, renders as a sphere. (this is not using <TAB> for metanurbs, get an error messege if you try to do that anyway)

also why does the metal shader icon look good before it's loaded as a new material, int the material tray the icon changes to a pixl mess, and when it renders it looks terrible?

thanks for any help.

yea thats a funny one. The Procedural shapes are a little messed up. For any tests like that its better to just build your geometry in your modeler.

I think that is the oddest one.

And a few others in the renderer. Like "Lock". It has always been there. . . but has never done anything. BOO!

For the most part everything works as it should and. . . with Armatures and expressions. . . if it is missing something you need you can make it yourself.

As you can tell I'm a bit of a fan. :-)

Known bug, I remember seeing a note on the Yahoo group.

"the cylinder does render as a sphere as do the rest of
