I finally switched over to a PBR viewer, and, man... these boots that I love so dang much now look so... so bad... lol They're reflecting everything to the point that they're just black in most lights. Other times they're catching colors that aren't even in the area? It's just weird and awful. I've tried fidgeting with every single setting available, but I can't make them look even remotely as "nice" as the Blinn-Phong version was. What's weird is that none of my other old Blinn-Phong items have had this issue. Anyways- The thing is that, of course, the Blinn-Phong textures are still there as a fallback. Is there a way I can remove the PBR textures, or like... turn them off, so I can see the Blinn-Phong ones instead while still using a PBR viewer?

I have tried both the AO from the AO's creator and placing an animation into FS's AO. Both result in a borked sit animation where the top is animating correctly, and the bottom half is that of the default sit animation. I have tried multiple sit animations from multiple, popular creators (LeRoux, Russkaya, Body Language, etc.); all of them result in this kind of mash-up. Here is what the animation list looks like when I sit on a cube: Here is what it looks like when I just play the animation locally: This leads me to believe it's not a priority issue. Then again, I don't know anything about animations. lol So please explain it to me like I'm five: how do I fix this?? I'd really appreciate the help!
