Hey everyone,
New user so thought I’d say hi

I’ve just finished one project, everything was 100% fine, everything worked.

When I went to create another project and apply materials to the objects in the scene, the Pro-Materials were greyed out and un-usable.

I have not been able to find a solution to this problem on the forums so far, and even tried a complete reinstall of the program which didn’t work! (might have missed a folder in myDocuments).

Hopefully I can get them all back and working very soon.

Thanks very much again

Change your renderer (Press F10 and go down to Render settings) and change it from Scanline to Mental Ray and voilà Pro-Materials available again! ;)
