I was trying to change my tessalation settings on my project, only to discover that I have no materials anymore, just the basic AdobeStandardMaterial and literally nothing else. I cannot find ANY information anywhere for this issue, I uninstalled and reinstalled the program, opened a new project, reset the settings, and tried to find the material library location on my disk, but I cannot find any information on it anywhere

Hello @jinofskih73885639,

I understand the frustration, but we changed some parameters setup a little bit with the new Renderer. Technically speaking, it made more sense to move the Tesselation property in Renderer settings.

Renderer > Edit Settings > Render Settings > Tessellation factor

To be fully honest, I'm also a bit frustrated by this change (even if it technically makes sense), but there are discussions on the topic to have a smoother Height value/Tesselation experience in Designer.

Best regards,
