I am just hoping someone can help me with a problem i have applying substances in I Clone 7. In Iclone 6 i was able to apply substances to blocks etc by opening the folder 3D Blocks Substances and then apply the selected substance. In Iclone 7 i am unable to do this. I tried importing the 3D Blocks (substances) folder from Iclone 6, however i was still unable to apply substances. Is ther another way to do this in Iclone?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks. Ian

With your Substances folder showing in Content just drag whatever substance you want over onto the thing you want to apply the substance to and that's it.

Hi Kellytoons,
Thanks for the response. I was obviously doing something wrong- just did what you said and it worked.  I think i have had too late a night. I will watch the tutorial you put up.
Thanks again.

Hi Kellytoon, When i try to do the same thing with the super substance 200 it does not work.

SS200 works exactly the same as any of the substances.  Watch the tutorials and if you are still stuck perhaps you can describe *exactly* what you are doing that isn't working (and be VERY specific, including what folder, what material you are dragging, and what you are dragging it to).

Hi Kellytoons,
I thought it might be best if i show you what i am doing.
Step 1
Step 2 Selected wood




I then select the box on the stge and drag and drop e.g wood ash onto the box and it does not apply.

Hmmm, I posted here a while ago but it never showed up.  Anyway...

If when you are dragging a Substance over onto that cube you don't see a yellow outline around it (before you let go of the mouse button) something is wrong.  If you DO see a yellow outline but when you let go of the mouse button nothing happens something is wrong.  So if either of those things is happening I would reinstall iClone (because it's most likely an iClone issue and not with the Substances).

Hi Kelleytoons,
I reinstalled Iclone 7 and ss 200 and i am still having the same issue. I still have Iclone 6 and the content for it is still on my D Drive. When i apply ss substances to props in Iclone 6 it works fine, but when i do the same in Iclone 7 the substance fails to drop on the targeted prop. I suppose it is not a big deal as i can just work on props in Iclone 6. I assume it must be a problem with Iclone 7. I hope that all makes sense- i am new to Iclone and it may very well be something i am doing wrong. At this stage i might just leave it and maybe i can sort it later. Thanks for the help. It is very much appreciated.
Cheers.Iang

Hm, for me "Substance Power 200" works fine in IC7...
