I have made a wall tile consisting of several materials, but it is one object. When importing it, Vue says it cannot read the bump maps (wrong format). So I decided to manually attach them. Problem is, I only see the whole object, but no material groups on the right side. When I want to modify the material, it says the the material of the first chosen object will be assigned to all others, because some of the chosen objects have different materials than others. This leads to a mess. What's the problem? Using Poser 4.0.3.127 German and Vue 4.12 Trial Version.

If I understand the problem your describing right you need to go into the material summary (the three little balls icon in the top display) to select the materials to change because they are all attached to a single object. There is information on how to do this at the link I've attached to this message. Hope this helps. Cheers Mark

Thanks a lot. I didn't know this 'multiple material handling feature' of Vue until yet. Should be no big deal though. Other thing is the problem with the Bump-Maps. Especially Vicky3 needs a lot of work, if you have to assign the bump maps manually. Is this normal behaviour that the import doesn't work? Thanks - Walter

Walter, if you have Vue 4.12 and import your Poser figure as a pz3 into Vue, every thing comes in perfectly, the textures, bumps and transparencies. If you have a previous version of Vue, you must update for free at www.e-onsoftware.com. With previous versions you will not get it right. Guitta guittalogo.GIF

BTW, it may be if you update to Vue 4.12 that your version changes to an English one. But this again is not a problem, because you can download the GERMAN patch for free at e-on's site too. Just tell us and we always will help you:-) Guitta

Hum!!! Maybe the trial version doesn't support correct pz3 import, I don't know????

he hasn't said wether he is on Windows or Mac. Mac still does have problems with .bum files - as far as i remember (i have converted all my bum files to jpgs using GraphicConverter so i am not really up-to-date in this).
