Are you using a PBR viewer?

8. I use one but don't feel the improvement in graphics is worth the processing power.
CPU is getting much hotter with the PBR viewer and being summer its not fun.
Also the script engine is missing functions to make use of PBR textures. The suitcase has no materials folder so I cant accept a material directly without it being packed in a box first.
Having 2048 textures is nice for covering large areas, though I'm not sure my database agrees.
The extra faff to package a GLTF texture is really annoying.
They removed the "Find All" option in the edit menu to select all duplicate materials in a linkset. That really annoys me.
The "Align Planar Faces" option is broken with PBR materials.
The camera no longer collides with the walls if you have "Disable camera Constraints" on. I want the old behavior back.
Generally buggy and I'm not a fan. I hope it will get better.

Your grid needs to upgrade to 0.9.3 before the Materials folder will show in your inventory. That also is likely the cause of some of the other related issues you're having with it, since the grid upgrade provides essential support for pbr.

I just realized it was your suitcase that didn't have a materials folder. Thanks for sharing, I never noticed that since I only use those I upload myself.

I had uploaded a few test materials on my osgrid account, when i tried to pass them to my account on my grid it said couldn't find folder and failed. I had to put them in a box to get them to transfer over.
I don't hate PBR but it has issues that need fixing to make it workable. The last three points I mentioned are starting to annoy me more than it should lol.

i was try 3 times the New Viewers and was end always in the same Trouble ,Textures was blurry and need long time to be clear ,than laggy and not really funny to run around with. i prefer to be so long it works with my 6.6.17

For that reason I always add both the PBR textures and Blinn-Phong to every build, so that no matter what viewer they're using, they will see my best work for that particular rendering engine. That being said, I get far superior results with PBR.
