I don't want to polute the other thread so I continue hear to explain my problem (which I already posted at e-on).
If I use Poser shaders, the render is wrong, see the pictures, first is the OpenGL preview which is correct, not the render.

The amazing thing is that if I use the Vue pre-release version, it works !!!
As a workaround I could fall back to the pre-release but I'll loose all the modules I purchased which are disabled in pre-release.

Another thing : the final ask me for a texture it can't find, but not the pre-release which find all textures.
Another thing : the final preview stuck refreshing until I move the mouse, not the pre-release which works fine.

So all that sort of thing tell me that e-on broke many areas in the final software that worked well in the pre-release.

I tried to use the first final version, actually it doesn't have the shader problem but has the other problems. Maybe I have to try to update one version a time to find the one which brakes the Poser shaders...

thanks to read me.

Does this happen specifically in this poser file or does it happen in several? If it's in several, are there things in common, like a specific object or specific texture?

Have you considered not using poser shader tree but just the normal Vue textures? I never use poser shader tree, I don't really like the look of the materials and plus there's no control in Vue. I mean, if I want to to adjust highlights or bump, I can't do it if I'm using the poser shader tree.

The problem happens with several different object.

Of course I could not use shaders but If I started to not use the things that doesn't work well in Vue,  finally I'm afraid I'll stop using Vue.

I'm not sure I want tweak the clothes texture, that's why I choose the shaders which generaly looks better for me.

Anyway I don't ask here for a solution, it's just a talk, to justify a little my other posts which were
about e-on capability to make a software.

I think I could try to use the version before the last update to see if it's better. A time waste anyway.

 Oh, I see. I guess I didn't follow the other thread.
Anyway, not to make you jealous, but all features in Vue work wonderfully for me. 
So, e-on does know how to make a software, from where I'm looking.  

Hmm, a software that is solded to work for a platform must work. With Vue, sometimes it work (for you)  sometimes not (for me), very unreliable. Imagine you buy a car with such unreliable behavior, you turn right, the car turns left, "oops it's just a bug, not so important" .

So I have to stop to make non constructive posts ;)

I'll get a Mac Book pro in a few days, maybe Vue will work better on it than on my G5, who knows ?
I hope so.

To me it looks like the wrong material is being applied.  Maybe try and use the Poser script Collect Inventory.  The nice part about using this is all of you texture maps are in one easy to find folder. 

Hey Peggy.

Could you elaborate more on this script collect inventory feature for those of us who haven't heard of it?

Poser will export the contents of a scene to a folder.  This python script will copy the pz3 file, .obj models, and all textures, bump maps, and transparency maps.  Make it very easy to locate a map.   :biggrin:

Poser 6 - On the Windows menu, click Python Scripts. 
Click the Utility Funcs button. Click the Collect Scene Inventory button.

Poser 7 - On the Scripts menu, select Utility, Collect Scene Inventory.

Select Copy all to Folder.  Make sure you copy to an empty folder – you will have lots of files!

Peggy,
that's in part #10 of my Poser import tutorial ;)

2ni,
Heard more such woes, by a ton, on MACs than with PCs, I'm afraid.
very stable on my Vista rig.

@Peggy

Thanks a lot for the trick, it works very well, I'v been able to render the previous picture with shaders after the "Copy all to folder" operation in Poser, and also to load another PZ3 which loads only a prop with the original file.
The only drawback is that Poser stucks at the end of the process, I have to kill it, but it's not a problem.

I have a question : can I modify the new PZ3 or must I modify the original PZ3 and redo the "Copy all" operation ?

@silverblade33
Thanks for the link,  lots of content to read carefully

Well, it's only a copy of the original pz3 file, so I would modify the original one.  Unless you are adding new figures or replacing textures you should not have to do the "Copy all" stuff. 

Not sure why your Poser is hanging at the end of this.  But, glad it is working.

Sorry, I couldn't resist, please don't take it seriously, but I'm glad to see it's not only Vue dying on your machine! :-) So, could it be that the problems you have with Vue can be at least partially due to Apple and not all to e-on? :-)

I think not, because I have many examples of applications that work very well on Mac, not all on 3D  : Shade, Reason, Live, EyeTV (TNT TV).  I use them not every day but very often.
But you're right ;) Poser is poorly integrated in Mac OS. Sometimes it hangs while launching, the menu gets wrong. I think many old applications (from MacOS9) have not beeing ported in the "art rules", just to  make them work asap. Those applications have a background to throw away and restart on clear basis.
Poser is an exemple, Vue is another example with an additional ugly window system, and I think Hexagon is also not well integrated and crashes often.
MacOS is not a bad system, there are just less good developpers because less MacOS machine exist.
I'm afraid I've been too serious here ;)

Hm, could be the file setup, oh, you know how Poser is so damned fussy about the folder layouts etc, from what I've heard?

ie,maybe it's looking for items in a certian directory but not finding them there?

It works ok for me, even though Vista 64 bit, puts it into the "Programs Files (x86)" folder
Maybe Poser's more fussy on the MAC ?

Best suggestion I can offer I'm afraid. :)

Hehehe... that lil' Script nugget is quite a saving grace, innit! Saw that about a year & 1/2 ago at cornucopia...
Saves my sanity AND my computer! lol

Thanks for all the tips. These have helped me alot. Between this thread and the other one, i have managed to import my first poser scene into Vue!
