when I export a Vic3 from Poser 4 to trueSpace 4.3 as an OBJ, Vic3 shows up with black gloves and black pantyhose and eye makeup. how can I lose the gloves and pantyhose? Thanks

Sounds like the transparency is missing. I don't know True Space. So I can't tell you, how to apply it there. In Bryce you must apply the transparancy mat and grade in one of the material channels. Or shouldn't your Vic have gloves and pantyhose? Then the skin texture isn't applied for the body parts that are black.

Vic2 has only black nipples and black finger nails and black toenails.

Poser 4 woman has no black parts.

those are the subdividing mat zones, or some of them anyway. If you want skin tones applied in true space, you'll have to select them, and apply the skin texture to all those parts. skin arm, skin forearm, fingernails, skin thigh, skin shin, skin foot, and toenails, likely nipples as well. if there is supposed to be a lace glove look, or some such, then a texture and transparency would need to be applied.

X-perimentalman...that's strange...why would DAZ create a character and not apply skin tones to the entire figure? Regardless, I will give it a try and I do appreciate the info and help. 3D is not my native language :-)

The subdividing material zones are for more versatility when you work with a character in Poser, Denden. You can assign different textures to the material zones for example to dress Vic3 in a body suit or stockings. Vic2 has not so many material zones as Vic3. In your pic she looks like there were no textures at all applied and the object color turned to white. Except the black parts and the yellow eyes of course.
