I'm going off of long term memory here so I could be wrong but it is worth
a shot.
I seem to remember that when you put a Simbiont shader in a tS library the
path is very specific to the location of the Simbiont install that created
the material. This makes it very hard to share libraries with Simbiont
materials between different users with different installs.
In your case if you keep the tS5 file structure for the Simbiont install
then the libraries (copied over to tS6) should open up and find the correct
files.
If you change the install and the file locations then you need to re-create
the libraries from scratch. Does not an object painted with the Simbiont
material in tS5 open up in tS6 and recreate the material from the new
Simbiont install locations? It should, and thus could provide an easier
way to drop the material into a new tS6 library and retain your settings.
Hope this helps,
Jeff
