Hey Duncan,
Try this. Apparently it's not enough if you have the .sd exported out =
with
just UVs. You gotta plug an image node into it, and not a procedural
texture. From that point on, it seems to consistently work. I just =
figured
this out like 5 minutes ago. I'd like to know if I'm hallucinating from
fatigue or if this really solves it. It would be interesting to hear of
your results.=20
peace,

Im guessing its due to the bad xsi->realflow tools.
Ive downloaded their wetmaps test scene from their site and it works.
I've tried to ask on their forums, but as we all know by now, thats
pointless!
Ill try again today to get them to work if i get time.

Hi List,
I know this isn't really XSI, but I know there are some RF users on here =
and
I thought I'd take a stab. =20
I'm having very little success getting a wetdry map out of RF3 despite
scouring all over the forums and docs (which was 2 lines) for =
information.
I've tossed particles all day at grids with uv maps and I get nothing =
but
black .tga frames. I'm sure it's something simple. The forums seems to
provide no luck and I'm not the only one. Any help is appreciated. =20
Thanks,
