Saving TWI settings for materials and Sun

Post by Walt » Wed Dec 17, 2014 11:36 pm

I should know this and can't remember and can't find an answer in manual. I want to quit SU with the materials and light settings just the way I left it when i quit session but have to start over. :oops:

With V2 you can create environment presets that are saved between sessions and can be applied to any model.

As far as materials, what do you need to save that isn't saved into your scene?

For instance if I set a wood material to be semi gloss or a pool of water with a bump to make it look like riples or a procedual how is all that saved so when I come back to the model my changes are saved in TWI. I used to save XML in Kerkythea but with TWi as a plugin for SU not sure how to do that.

I am confused. You were not saving your SU file? or?
Definitely save any changes you make to your SU file even if you are working with Twilight inside the file. Any change you make with Twilight is saved with the SU file.
