Just installed 7.4, and when I load models they're completely flat.  Now, I've tried all the opions for the previews (the button near the material editor) but none do what I was used to in 7.  Basically, when I used to load a model in 7, you could see what the model was instead of just seeing a flat, 2d approximation.   How do I change it?

Do you talk about materials?

I guess so, yeah....but I mean being able to see them in the preview window (not the small one on the right, but the main windows)....now all I see is a flat, 2d approximation....

And this (though the picture is different) is what I want it to look like

Can you check your display preference settings? Whether you have the read wireframe setting on (I think it is default) or not. Play with that and maybe other settings there - maybe you show us a screenshot of your settings - and see whether it makes a difference.

 Try resetting your OpenGL settings.

First of all, you should switch on OpenGL lighting and OpenGL atmosphere preview to the right of the settings. Will make a difference in the scene display.

Same problem here.

Models are displayed all greyed out in V7.4. No display of clouds.

When applying some options, V7.4 crashes the Windows display entirely. It even manages to crash the Photoshop CS4 display!

I made tests with Various NVidia display drivers, and had many troubles with some.

To summarize:
175.16 (Open GL 1.1): Vue 7.4 crashed upon loading (6.6 displays a warning)
175.19 (Open GL 2.1): Scene are displayed without textures Tests made yesterday night with these drivers and version 7.21 were far better with a full texture display. Vue 6.6 displays the scene properly.
185.85 (Open GL 3.0): Very unstable, improper display.

Worse still: I went back to the previous version and the display is the same in it!

Uninstalled, reinstalled: same problem.

It seems I saw a thread about performing a full uninstall, but I cannot remember where.


Fantasy pictures, free 3d models, 3d tutorials and seamless textures on Virtual Lands.

offrench, this is probably what you mean.

Installing Vue 7.4 for me simply meant that all the preferences I had set previously reverted back to default and the path to Poser 7 went as well which meant re-doing my prefs to how I like them and re-doing the Poser path, no biggie in either case!

Injustice will be avenged.
