After you unzipping, this is where the files need to go:

The jpg's are used for bump or reflection maps. Put these in the 'Material' folder in PI. Put the SMP file in the 'Ulead.dat' folder. Open the Easy Palette and click on 'Gallery Manager,' 'Import' and select 'krispi2.SMP'. Then "apply away" and PLEASE let me know if you have any problems.

Some of these material presets are "converted from image." If you apply one to a path and get a bizarre shape with "wings" sticking out all over the place, try this: Click the options button and on the 'Color/Texture' tab click 'options' and select 'fit the texture.' This should fix it.

When I use these materials on text, I usually change the bevel to "chisel" and increase the lights. The presets are set for the rectangle path, so I increased the border to 30 for the circles in the samples. I also added shadows to the text examples. On the circle example for Bronze Tapestry the ambient light was increased the from 44% to 60%.

The Lumpy Lollipop uses a plain old color with bump and reflection maps, so you can change the color to anything you want.

Good luck - please email me if you have any problems.
