Similar to the first question: what about cycles?

Question

I was wondering if it was possible to render Melvin in cycles. As far as I could tell, the texture only shows up in the blender internal engine. Is there any way to transfer this to cycles?

I thought it was cycles, I know all the Melvin animations I have done were rendered in cycles, but maybe the DL in the course is the older rig.

Maybe I can ask @theluthier

ssambear You're right that the material is a Blender Internal material in the file which isn't directly compatible with Cycles. But to re-create the material for Cycles is very easy.

Switch your render engine to Cycles
Go to the material panel and press "Use Nodes"
In the node editor you should have a principled BSDF node plugged into a Material Output Node.
Add an image texture node and select the "melvin_diffuse" image.
Plug the color output into the base color socket of the Principled BSDF
