Hi,

I tried to do a uv transfer between two polygon meshes and now they have both gone blue.

I tried deleting the material.

I tried, " Edit polygons - prelighting- remove." But that didn't help.

Does anyone know what is going on ?

Thanks.

perhaps you could post an image? I can't say I can recall such a thing happening before.

Hi, here is an image.

I think it must be something to do with the polygons and not the material, as it is the same when I delete the material and apply a new one.

This colour doesn't appear in a software render just a hardware render.

What does the software render look like... and what are they supposed to look like?

Software render is just like normal grey colour.

I've managed to sort it out now though. I had to select the feet and do an "Edit polygons - Color - Apply color - remove color.

I found this only worked after I detached the skin from the feet with bake history checked first though.

I don't know what caused it in the first place.
