Quote -  Hello, I've just been trying the LuxPose today. I don't know if anyone else has had this problem, (sorry I have not read through everything, so this might be my own fault) but I have set up my computer as a server so I can do most of my work on my laptop. The problem I seem to run into is that not all the textures seem to go to my computer. Laptop alone seems to render ok, but when it checks in with the computer to get what the computer has been working all of a sudden spots that did have texture have no more texture. Again, sorry if this has already been talked about...

I'm not clear on what you're doing. You are running LuxRender on the server with textures that are on your laptop? If so, you must ensure that the texture paths are valid with respect to programs running on the server. The exporter doesn't copy the textures. It simply puts the full path to those textures into the scene file, exactly as they appear in Poser.

Look in the lxm file - look at the paths to the textures. Are these paths valid from the server? If not, then it isn't going to work.

We can add an option to copy textures to the target scene folder, but that's not an option at the moment. We could also add an option to translate paths to ones that would work from the server. For example, if you had your laptop drive mounted on the server as a shared drive, then translating the paths for the target machine from c:somefolderfoo.jpg to myLaptopc$somefolderfoo.jpg would be a possibility.

(Transforming the folder might also help people running Poser in Linux)

Or are you talking about using LuxRender in server farm mode, where it enslaves other computers to do your bidding? I don't know how that works.

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)
