I cannot get any of the Victoria 3 Male Pak body morphs to work. I inject the morph, turn the dial to zero, and nothing happens. And yes, I did install all the service paks for Victoria 3. Also, where are the Male head morphs? I am running Poser 4.0.3 on Windows 98. Thanks.

Turning to zero usually turns the morph off. Try turning to 1 instead. I've only just begun playing with the male morphs tonight, so I am not certain how they work. The male head morphs come up under !V3 MalePak CH INJ in your Pose library.

Make sure you have installed the three SR1 downloads for V3. If you don't download and install them, it won't work. To find the SR1 update, go to the V3 pages at Daz. At the bottom of each page (under the character, head morph, and body morph pages) there is a link to download the SR. That should fix the problem for you... and, also make sure you're turning the dial to 1 not zero like lhiannan said ::grins::

Make sure yuo use the SP1 figures- they have a big blue circle in the background

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that. Thank you, LN. :)

Yes, I was turning it to 1 ;) But using the blue circle figure was the key. Thank you all.

I'm still trying to get V3 to work, before I can get to male morphs! An error message keeps telling me it cannot open geometries. But anyway, now the above thread confuses me further. What is the difference between the V3 with the blue circle SPI and the one without? That is, which do you use for what? And how did anyone find out? Did I miss something in the instructions? Plus -- DAZ does not indicate that the V# body morphs are necessary to use the male morphs.Right? But above it suggests that the SRI updates are necessary to run V3. Does this mean that the updates are necessary but not the morph package itself for the male morphs to work? I bought the V3 face morphs but not the V3 body morphs. Nothings working and I'm confused! Can anyone help?

The head & body morph pak plus the SR1 updates are nessessary to use the male morph pak, as it utilizes the morphs from all morph paks... hope that helps -=SimderZ=-

oh and the new figures with the blue circle are the newly updated versions of V3, you can if you wish delete the old ones in ur figures Daz people library... Also make sure you didn't rename your !V3...etc injections in the pose library otherwise you will run into problems.. Other problems in the geometry may indicate that youhave installed the V3 Upgrade figure and you don't have v1 or v2.. or it may be that your V3 rsr is corrupt I have seen this mentioned and all you have to do is delete it and let poser rebild a new one next time you load your V3... I know all this is confusing, and i hope i was able to help. If all else fails, try reinstalling her or contacting DAZ... :) i'm sure theres a solution (i'm running P4 PP, and she works perfectly thus far) Happy Rendering -=SimderZ=-

Thanks Simderella. I will use the blue circled items. I fiddled a bit and did get V3 to load. I am pretty sure that the trick was to delete the rsr file in the geometries folder as the DAZ website suggested. The can't find the shortcut error message was apparently related to another issue when I rearranged my files in Windows XP. But even after fixing that, I got the can't open ... geometries and out of memory error messages. Then I checked the DAZ site. But the male morphs do not work. So apparently you are correct that I need the V3 body morph pack, which I did not buy. The DAZ ad says only that the head morph pack is necessary to get the male morphs to work. I am curious how anyone would know that the body morph pack is necessary, and also how anyone would know what the blue circle means? I thought that I read all the instructions, but did I miss something?

The body morph pak is not needed for the male morph pak to work. What is needed are the sr1 updates (only two are actually "needed", the base and the head, but all are recommended). The male morph pak loads [injects] into channels that do not exist in the pre-sr1 cr2, thus the need for the sr1 (blue circle) cr2. The male pak head poses, in addition to a few added by the male pak, call morphs that are only included in the head morphs pak. Also called are files included in the sr1 update for the head morphs pak, morphs that do not exist in the pre-sr1 distribution.

Well darned!! I got V3 to accept the male morphs without having the V3 body morphs. Thanks for the tip. I just worked at it, got over my discouragement, and got more familiar with the set up after your suggestion. I wounder -- would I gain anything at all with the female body pack in terms of the male figure? He doesn't seem to allow for adjustments in tone, etc as mike does. Would the female body pack allow me more male morph options? Such as more tone or fat man?

Oh, yes, it would allow more, PJ.
