There are files we provide called MAT files. These files will apply textures for you by double clicking on them in a folder called MAT. Those files will do all the work for you. Eyebrows and lashes use Transparency maps. The highlight color for transparencies has to be black. all the sliders are at zero except max which is at 100%. If you have someone elses textures there should still be MAT files to double click Regards, Anton

And Vicki will look sooooo much happier if you change the focal length of your camera to around 100, instead of leaving it at default, which is kind of fish-eyed :)

anton, please quick question....do the mat files for v3 work for v3 v2? because, if they do, i'm making a mistake somewhere. or, do i have to change something to make them work? i've been playing with v3-v2, because i have some clothes i made, and, don't really have the time right now to try and read the threads to convert the clothing. also, why does the texture strength for the iris jump to zero, sometimes....i had problems with my eyes, first thing. but, i asked, and, folks were nice enough to give me the fixes. one last thing...just pretend i'm a beta tester....why must the big iris/huge iris morphs be loaded through morph manager? they are not there, in the pose files....anywhere. now if i had not known that they existed...well, i would not have been able to load them at all....how many other "secret" morphs are there that we must load with m manager, etc? do you know?

Hehe Poppi taking advantage of my thread. Damn you Anyway Anton could you tell me where I could dl some mat files for eyelashes or are there any that already came with V3

why must the big iris/huge iris morphs be loaded through morph manager? for the v3/v2 person...sorry, clarifying.

lol...oops...alastor, i'll try and keep quiet, now. i love v3, but, just have those questions.

its all good as long as my questions are answered you can post whatever you wanna post

alastor - if you bought any of the V3 texture packs from DAZ (or from somewhere else), then you'll have V3 MAT files. They will be in your Pose folder. (I forget what the folder name is because I renamed the folder on my computer.) If you didn't purchase some texture maps, then you'll have to make your own texture maps or find free V3 textures and use those. (I don't remember off-hand if there's any free V3 textures out yet.) Poppi - you need to use V2 MATs for V3 to V2. The point of V3 to V2 is to use V2 maps. Therefore, using a V3 MAT will not work. It will point to textures that V3 to V2 can not use. As for the big iris morph - don't know what that is, so I can't help there. Hope this helps!

"do the mat files for v3 work for v3 v2" Yeah. but the maps don't if you applied the V2 Uv's to use old maps. "also, why does the texture strength for the iris jump to zero, sometimes....i had problems with my eyes, first thing. but, i asked, and, folks were nice enough to give me the fixes." Never heard of that one. Sounds like a poser thing. No oidea sorry. "why must the big iris/huge iris morphs be loaded through morph manager? they are not there, in the pose files....anywhere." If this is V3 to V2 you are talking about then it is because the V2 version is just an Easter Egg and we had to stop somehwere from a time and resources standpoint. Just a guess. "how many other "secret" morphs are there that we must load with m manager, etc? do you know?" I really am not sure "secret" is the word I would use. I don't have the V2 version of V3 loaded but I can ask Rob to look at this. He might understand better. "Anton could you tell me where I could dl some mat files for eyelashes or are there any that already came with V3 " The mats come witht he texture packs people sell. There are newbie tutorials out there explaining materials and such. Examining other peoples settings are the best way to see how things work and why. Since V3 is very new and alot of people just broker you might have to wait awhile for people to make texture freebies.

V3V2 uses Vicky 2 maps. No need to apply UVS. The UVS is for V3 to use V2 maps.

ack. my mistake. Sorry. What he said. :) Then the mats won't work with v3 maps. Just will use mat settings then. But that is good since there are so many V2 settings out there.

Wait a second... if you just buy V3 with no texture pack... then you don't get eyelashes and eyebrows... at all? I can understand no hair. V2 didn't have hair. But no eyebrows? No lashes? Carolly

OMG. Of coure you get eyebrows and eyelashes. :) Ams too. She just doesn't come with maps. hehe The eyelashes in his render are just completely trasparent. LOL

hehe arms are always good :)

yes, anton...easter egg would be a better phrase than "secret"....i'd love some more of them if there are any more.

lol. ok
