I hope someone can help me, I am trying to create new texture maps for a product and it has a morphable skirt but everytime I render the skirt morphs triangles show up in the render, I have tried everything to get rid of them but nothing works?  Also does anyone know if poser 6 item textures work in lower poser versions?  Example as in my skirt texture map that I have created in poser 6 does it work in lower posers?  And does anyone know why my poses maps don't apply to the skirt object?  Everytime I click on them nothing happens to appy them to the skirt nothing happens.... :( Any help is much appreciated and will be rewarded in virtual chocolate :D

Cheers Diana

click on the file to see my problem please

The trinagles you are mentioning are the bodyhandles for the skirt... for some reaosn, they are being made visible in the render. Without wishing to sound patronising, is it possible that the material you are trying to create is being applied to them instead of the skirt?

It's also possible that they would be made invisible by a MAT Pose which came with the skirt, which just changine the main texture doesn't affect. You would have to pose the figure amnd skirt, adjust the body handles to deal with any poke-through from the legs, apply one of the original textures, and then replace the skirt texture with yours. If that sorts the problem, save all the materials for the skirt as a Poser 6 material collection. These can be converted to a Pose file, it just needs a couple of changes in the first few lines of the file, and the correct filename extension. Unfortunately, there are other ways of making these objects invisible that wouldn't be recorded in this way, but which can be done in a MAT Pose. Compared to the MC6 file, there can be extra sections iin a MAT Pose, making some body parts of the skirt invisible.

You can make the handles transparent in the mc6 file as well just be setting the transparency for the handles to 1 and the transparency edge in the handles to 1, as well.  Those will be recorded in the .mc6 as long as you select the handles as part of the materials collection.

This is how you would accomplish this in the material room ...

Select the body handles material zone, change the trans and trans edge to 1.000, apply your material to the skirt zones but not the handles zone, save the material as a material collection and select all but the preview.  This will create an .mc6 file that will turn the handles invisible and apply the texture. 

Thank you all for your help I have finally figured it out Yeah! Virtual Chocolate for everyone :D The other thing is making my mat poses work that I am having difficulty with.  I have figured out that there is no real good tutorials on the web for learning poser 6, it has been a very long process of trial and terror for me ;)

Virtual chocolates ... yum!  That's the only kind that doesn't cause me to blow up like a balloon (allergic, don't ya know).
