Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Nov 29 7:57 am)
Glad you like the suit update for V3. =) The new textures may not work optimally with the older V2 set. Both meshes share the same UV mapping, but the V3 version has a lot more material zones, morphs and mesh cuts specific to the new maps and her. I wanted to give the V3 version more versatility overall. The older maps will look fine with the V3 version though. ML DAZ3D
It's probably just a question of modifying the MAT files. I'm going to get these tonight, so I can take a look. (I am NOT giving up some of the V2 SCci Fi Outfit textures! I bought the set just because of one texture.) If it's just a question of adding more material zones to the MAT files, I can put new MATs together and put a copy up for people to download.
A bit confused here - was there an update for the vicki 2 sci-fi suit to make it work on V3? Going to check the update page and see what updates there arer - (I really need to make more time for that sigh)

That's what I was worried about - that it was the lower priced version I had seen. Nothing in the description told me it was an upgrade to the V2 Sci-fi suit so I bought the V3 version - I thought the Upgrade was just additional morphs for the outfit itself and I hadn't decided to get it or not pooh

I need to sort out the material zones to make sure that I get the colors right, but I should be able to get it up tomorrow. Is it okay if I include the appropriate thumbnails for the MAT files or should I just give instructions on how to copy/rename the thumbnails to match the MAT files? (E.g. for the V3 Neo Asian texture, can I give out a renamed Neo Asian thumbnail for the MAT file to match the V2 material zones?) I'd prefer to include the thumbnails for ease of installation and so they match their counterparts. Well I get these done, I'll put up .zips by type - P4 V Remix, PPP V3 SciFi, etc. Thanks!
Whew! I got all the MAT file conversions done. I had to make some transparency maps to create some of the V3 outfits, but I think they look pretty good. A few outfits are slightly different due to material zones, but nothing is earth-shatteringly different. Can I get someone with P4 to test them and make sure I didn't miss a .bum reference somewhere? As soon as I get someone to make sure the P4 version is okay, I'll upload them to FreeStuff. Cheers!
Eric Torstenson was kind enough to test them and make sure the P4 version was correct. I was pretty sleep deprived when I made these (damned neighbors who start parties at 2am!), so he had his work cut out for him! :-( The V3 suit takes the original textures very nicely. The original suit will not look exactly like the V3 version, but I came pretty close. I even put in a few trans maps to get the outfits even close to the V3 version. (Poser doesn't like reflection maps and transparency maps together, so there's a few things that are shiny in the V3 version, but aren't for the original version.) With the transparency maps, there's one or two tops are have a few pixels that might need postwork if you do real close-ups. Overall, it's very clean, though. I'll get the links up in FreeStuff since there doesn't seem to be a problem with my redistributing the thumbnails for the MATs. If there's any problems with the MATs or my transparency maps, let me know. Also, my trans maps can be redistributed if people want to make textures for both versions of the uniform, though I'd appreciate credit. Obviously the DAZ textures are off-limits. Enjoy! Cres

lol all this time and have not had a problem. Now I pay for the Starlet face maps and they show on my receipt but no download. Oh well they'll fix it tomorrow. Marque
