I just downloaded the latest trial of this fantastic edition of Clo3d, and thank you to make such an amazing tool. I have a question about the Texture Editor : I tried to create fabric print, few times, and it only end up with a transparent material, although the opacity is at 100%. What Am I doing wrong? Is that realted with a graphic card or the processor of my PC? Thank you for your help
