This bug is associated with only SOME textures on certain items, but not all. The problem is that Poser 8 corrupts the path in its own internal list of path names associated with a scene. It leaves off the first letter of one of the directory names in the path name for the file.

If this happens, go into the material room. Choose an item that is missing textures. Sellect the image from one of the Image_Map nodes that is missing a texture. In the Texture Manager, sellect the down arrow beside the texture name, and you will see all the pathnames associated with your scene. Use the down arrow at the bottom of the list and scroll until you see a blue (I think) check mark. You will probably be able to spot the corrupted directory name in the path.

If you want to navigate to the texture and add it by hand, you can. But, when you save and reload the scene you will have to do it all again, because Poser will corrupt the path again.
