      SU 8 on Windows XP

      I setup a model with photo background in SU6. Now in SU8 the model doesn't render the materials and textures for that scene. Lines are displayed, but not surfaces. The trees at bottom are 2D follow-camera props. The images below show before and after.

      The Style in the first image is Google Earth with sky and ground. The Style in the second image is Shaded with Textures. When I switch between Styles the textures still don't show. When I select a part of the model, the texture is shown in the Entity Info, but not on the model. Ironically, when I reduce the model opacity from 100% to 10% the faces go from clear to white.

      Other than upgrading the software, did I do something wrong? Any ideas on how to get the textures to render?

      Nevermind! I finally discovered that SU8 set the photo in the foreground by default, but in SU6 it was in the background. It's all better now, except for time wasted. 😞

      Shouldn't the default be to put the photo in the background????
