You will need to create the scene fresh with 2.1 version. If your scene has any 1.2 materials, then what you mentioned happens. I had a scene made under 1.2 that I wanted to use with RedSpec. But as it kept giving me problems, I deleted my character from the scene. Saved a copy of it. Then created a new scene under 2.1 with just my character and applied the RedSpec SSS. After that did a scene merge and imported the scene I saved without my character. Saving the scene and opening this new scene again maintained the materials. The render I have attached in my last post is made in this way.

In general, if you start with 2.1 scene, the materials should stick. With 1.2 materials there are still problems.

A major issue that makes the new build unusable for em:

After I save, close and reopen my project, all my materials are unlinked. Which means I have to relink every mat after I close the project or shutdown my computer.

I´ve changed directly from version 1.2 to build 4, so is this something build 3 maybe doesn´t have so I could switch back to that? I´m working with the RedSpec SSS for Genesis 2 which doesn´t work with 1.2, so going all the way back isn´t really an option!

best wishes

I already did what rajib also describes , but that is what i mean with different behaviour.
The lights i setup that way did not had the same distribution and power as i had it before. Much less power and not the same values of distribution - no matter how high set the the level.
At the end it messes up my lights because to much power ends up in very grainy scene.

For me know it very different to play with emitter lights then it was in 1.2. In my opinion unnessesary because he just mixed up the controls and settings. The way how it works is as far a understood the same as before.

I really have no clue what causes this, but I plan on reformatting my hard drive anyway, maybe that´ll fix it. I´ll report.
