CADulator Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 I have Windows 7 and FormZ Pro v8.0.2 (latest release). I copied one of the formZ .jpg textures from my "formZ Textures" folder to a new location. It's 256 x 256 pixels. I also created a new material in my own library, copied from one in "formZ Materials". I modified the new texture color with a graphics program, but then I couldn't apply it to my new material. I'm using Material Properties / Color / Texture / "Click to load new texture". A dialog box appears with a default autodessys bitmap. I click Load... and specify my modified texture .jpg, but it won't take. I still see the autodessys logo, and that's what gets applied to my material if I continue. I tried reducing my modified texture to 128 x 128 pixels like the autodessys logo, but that didn't work. When I try to select my modified texture file, some text looks like it's crowding in behind the File Info frame in the dialog box: Am I doing something wrong in my new texture procedure here? Any workarounds? Thanks for any help, Gerrit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Hey CAD, Make sure your JPG is saved with Baseline and NOT Progressive compression. Does that help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CADulator Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 Well, THAT was obscure! Sure enough, it fixed the problem though. Many thanks! Gerrit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Yeah, Progressive is intended for web only. Always use either of the Baseline (or other 2d formats) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
