I bypassed the Bump map and Specular Map and grabbed the Color map from the eighth column and dragged it back over near the Main node and connected the Diffuse_color to it.
Hm... now that I'm using PR2, I have the same problem with the preview. But this trick didn't work for me (assuming I did it right). :-
Edit: Actually, I know I didn't, 'cause I didn't bypass anything... not even sure if I should. I don't want the Bump and Specular maps bypassed, do I?
The preview business is not bypassing anything. Poser preview cannot render these effects.
If you look carefully, I have Diffuse_Value set to 0. That means what you plug into Diffuse_Color is not affecting the render. Only the preview.
This is one of those "secrets" of the Poser masters - plug what you want in preview into Diffuse_Color (image only because Poser can't handle more), set Diffuse-Value = 0 so it has no impact on the render, and plug what you want to render into other channels such as Alternate_Diffuse.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
