Hi.

You need to slow down your click-y finger.  If the "submit" button doesn't work immediately, give it a moment (another 10 seconds or so) before you try again.  I know that's how I create duplicate post entries.   (Ooops... I was thinking you were the same person who submitted numerous "Substance" posts earlier today.  Oh well, it's still a valid comment that applies to all of us when we get a bit excited.)

I'll try to answer the "chrome" question when I get back to my iclone computer (unless someone else does it first).

The forum stated there was an error please try again.

I posted again and still got the error.

I then noticed that the posts had been uploaded.

Same error again but posting

I got that forum error too.

What I did:
...go <BACK> in my browser to see if my post text was still there...
...thankfully it was...
...I selected and copied all my text in case I had to re-enter the post...
...then refreshed the forum listing to see if my reply actually got posted...
...lucky for me it actually posted, in spite of the error, but I also had my text in the copy buffer in case I needed to recreate the reply...
That comes from past experience on the forum. 


The hamsters powering the Reallusion servers must be tired.


ABOUT THE CHROME:

First, understand you won't get "real" reflections (at least not accurate ones).  But with that out of the way, here is what you can do...

1) Add a picture to the "Reflection" channel.  You can double-click on the Reflection box to access some reflection images Reallusion provides, or you can drag-and-drop your own image onto the box.

2) Turn the Diffuse Color way down.  Pure black or close to it.

That should get you pretty close.

There is a "Reflection" option too.  But don't look at the results too closely because you'll notice the reflections are likely to be incorrect.
