Lightwave Community at SimplyLightwave - View Single Post - Losing my color blends after I save and close a scene

Hi. I am doing a fairly simple animation for work. I need to take basic objects like capsules and cylinders and have their colors change at specific times. (Green to yellow, and then yellow to red, etc.)

In Layout, I select the object, keyframe it, and then select the surface editor. Once in the surface eiditor I click on the "E" button and then change the objects color in the graph editor.

The objects change color (or transparency, or whatever other envelope I've tried to edit) and things seem to be working just fine, until I close the scene and try to open it at a later time. Once I open the scene, all my color tweening is no longer there.

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance! : )

FWIW, this happens to me on both my old version of LW 7.5 and also on 8 on a Mac running OS X.2.3 (Panther)

Thanks!
