AW: AW: [Uni-verse] Review and demo URGENT

[Marcus Hoffmann]

Hi,

The renderer can show textures. That was fine for use right now. But I try
to include more material functionality as fast as possible, latest until the
review. I have not seen the model that is planned to use for the demo. If it
would be available I could test, if it is running.

Best Regards
Marcus
