Hi.

Sorry this is a late reply but I was contacted by a dude named Alain Martel who
emailed me and said this...


" This looks highly suspicious to me :
  #declare MAT_Material_034 =



Look if you have a
#dedclare MAT_Material_051
somewhere in your scene.

If that's the case, look in the settings if you can prevent prepending


Alternately, do a search and replace to replace all instances of




I couldn't ask him anything because google can't recognize his address, Ill ask
them here...


I have a #declare MAT_Material_051 in the file, what exactly does this do and
why is it bad?

If I change the MAT_Material to just Material, would It need the same amount of
indentation?

And... how could I possibly prevent materials having MAT_ prepended by using the
settings?
