Carrara F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Nov 28 3:44 pm)

Very strange thing... I think you need to load all textures again... look to your shaders to see if they still point to the image files first.

A mystery. Replicating the files should have been fine. The only suggestions I have are (like GKDantas suggests) be sure you can browse the correct path to the image files and...
maybe...
Is there a license issue with carrara on the two different computers? Are the two computers connected by network? If yes: does the program otherwise work fine when the old computer is turned off?
One computer is a Mac, the other one is a PC.
I think there's an issue with the texture (content) path.
All the Poser shaders seem to be set in the default mode : red color instead of image maps.
Procedural shaders in the scene are fine.
*Poser 6 on the Mac wit Carrara 7, Carrara 6 on the PC.

I had problems creating contest for Carrara with Mac users... the problem was image paths too.

This is not very comfortable, because the Poser scene has got about 140 different texture maps! It will be very boring to set it up manual ;(
I usually don't have compatibility issues between Mac and PC...

Shot in the dark, and well if its everything this probably isn't is...was some of the poser content installed with an installer file by chance? Perhaps they hardcoded the install path vs using ":Runtime:Textures:...." can you look in the source files
Another thing are you loading the file that was already setup with poser content or trying to place things in a new scene (Do things work if you place things in a fresh scene). Try saving out the file in a .car but not compressed and then you can look in the .car file and see what it is using for the paths.
This is the first .jpg referenced in a new .car file when I loaded the troll and applied the Lava map.
TMap {
Apth "D:dazext-contentRuntimetexturesDAZCharactersTrollLavaEyeM.jpg"
Rpth ":::daz:ext-content:Runtime:textures:DAZ:Characters:Troll:"
Ffmt JPEG
It should use the Rpth (relative path) but I am not sure what it will show on the mac, if it will have the volume name encoded or the systems lower level unix volume path. If nothing else we could be exposing a problem that could be addressed.
Lastly is it every texture or just a few, if you import content into a new scene on the new system does it have the same problem or just content saved before then opened on the new system?

I try to render a scene on another computer. The scene contains Poser runtime items. I duplicated the runtime library on the 2 computers and I loaded in both Carrara content tabs.
I saved my scene as "local"and also as "internal" and I do not get the texture maps. All the characters have the red shader.
How can I resolve the problem?
Thanks
