Material thumbnails not rendering as it used before

[Flavio Hilario]

Hello

I noticed something strange ... Opening an old project from KS6, Material thumbnails look better than a new similar project that use same materials imported from KS6 to KS7.

At the attached image, left side = KS6.x project opened in KS7.2. Right side = KS7.2  similar project ( lights, env, materials... )  that uses the same materials previously imported in a separated folder, from KS6.x.  When I ask to Render the Thumbnails, nothing changes.

The difference is because the new light algorithm put in KS7 ?
Is something related to the materials when they got imported?
Is something related to the Windows itself ? ( Windows 8/early10 when it was with KS6.xx .. and now the most recent Windows 10 with KS7.2 )

I guess that you used in KS 6 not the default material environment scene (.bip) from the install folder. And something is wrong with the KS7 installation. I would check and compare the keyshot6.xml and KS7_settings.xml

And then update the entire library.

Hope that helps.
