Here's another question for you Stan.
I used Ivy Generator (the stand alone program, not Fenric's plugin-never have been able to get that to work for me). I used the Ivy Generator to generate some ivy growth on a model I was working on in Silo. I imported the ivy into Silo and then exported the entire model out in obj format. I opened the model in Carrara for texturing. All the material zones I assigned in Silo show up in Carrara as they should, but I can't for the life of me get the leaves of the ivy to render. I even imported an ivy on its own with nothing else in the scene and still no leaves at render time.
I can assign a solid color or just about any other shader to the leaves and they show up, but if I assign the standard ivy texure from ivy generator nothing renders. I've even tried using other leaf textures and still nothing. The ivy vines render just fine with its default texture or any other texture or shader, but not the leaves.
I know there must be a simple solution, but it's escaping me at the moment.
Help!
