ive had this problem a few times before but i solved it by reloading the relevant folders but this time nothing works!

i even re-installd the soft' and it seemed fine untill i opened the file i was working on beforehand

Your explanation isn't very concise. I would guess that if you are creating custom materials and have textures applied to the material and you are missing the textures. Then the library is not loading. First you should make sure the textures are located in one of the libraries you are loading for the file. Then open Library Manager and delete the libraries and find them through the Local/LAN tab to make sure they are pathed properly.

Hi tom and tnx 4 your reply, but as i said before im possitive its not a folder location library or something similar.

1st- its not a custom material im having problems with but with all materials of all objects!

 

2nd- i re-installed the soft' so that was supposed to take care of that in any case, wouldnt it?

 

3rd- i tried loading and re-loading again & again (u like metallica by any chance? ) and nothing helps

 

so waht m i missing?

and if i can shed more light then tell me and ill try

Materials are loaded on a per file basis. Do you get this problem with all files or just one specific file?

 

If it's one file, then use the attribute manager to import materials from another file that contains the ones you are missing.
