The create-as-new material > auto material worked! Thanks! Not sure how I turned that off or whatever, but I'm glad it's back!!

Hi Spectralis,

I got my hopes up on seeing your comment but deleting the skydome and setting the Kernel type to Direct Lighting and setting environment to Default Lighting didn't work. Unfortunately, I'm now again experiencing the endless loading loop--with only these three trees (minus the sci-fi ...
