 Post Topic: Materials Display Twice
PostPosted 08.05.2012, 02:41 
Hi,

For whatever reason, since updating to the new version of Sandbox, every material (already in the build, and ones I make myself), display twice. Would anyone know what that might be? It's fairly maddening. There are not two, but it appears as such. That I can see when looking in the folder system outside of CryEngine.

Thanks,

HL

not sure if you are meaning the .mtl files, (txt files with material info in them) or the textures. (.tiff and .dds)
there will be two copies of each texture, one .tiff which is what you export out of photoshop, and one .dds, a compressed mipmapped version created when the material is loaded into cryengine the first time.
not sure if this answers your question or not.

No, not really, but it did get resolved when I completely uninstalled CryEngine and reinstalled it. Thanks, though.
