Quote -  I really wish I knew what I was doing wrong.... I get rid of all of the relative paths in the lxm file and make them constants. I make sure that all the paths are correct to images... I try to run it in LuxRender and it crashes... I live all the relative paths, I get errors in LuxRender but it still runs and renders fine on one machine, even though from what I am told it should have problems rendering correctly. I seem to be the only one having this problem. I'm running Windows 7, Poser 8, LuxPose 1.14, and LuxRender v0.7... It doesn't crash if I comment out the lxm file, but then of course everything is a nice shade of gray.

I do get errors like this in the LuxRender Log window:

[2010-09-02 14:01:43 Error: 14] Static loading of color texture 'default' failed.
[2010-09-02 14:01:43 Error: 41] Couldn't find color texture named 'Color_Round'[2010-09-02 14:01:43 Error: 41] Couldn't find float texture named 'Color_Mul_74'

and the last thing it says before crashing is:

[2010-09-02 14:03:21 Warning: 0] Parameter 'from' not used

 

[2010-09-02 14:03:21 Warning: 0] Parameter 'to' not used

Then I get a popup window saying:

Runtime Error!

Program: C:Program Files LuxRenderluxrender.exe

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please Contact the application's support team for more information. 

I have tried running the sample that comes with Luxrender and that goes through fine without any trouble. So I don't know what I am doing wrong that is causing so much trouble. I have been in contact with a couple of the people working on  this project and the LuxRender Devs, and both have told me that it is a problem with relative paths vs constant paths, but that doesn't make sense since I have taken out all of the relative paths. And it is not just one scene that I have tried, it's all the of the scenes I have made and tried to move over to LuxRender.

The errors about 'from' and 'to' seem to be normal.  Though it does not seem to prevent luxrender from working.

OTOH, the other errors make me think you are using Poser Materials, which do not work with LuxPose yet.  I don't know if that has anything to do with the 'Runtime error', though I would think not. 

This is a very beginning work-in-progress, and as such does not have the ability to convert much more than Poser 4 textures.  That is changing, and probably will change rapidly soon.

Don't give up, it's only getting better!  In other words, try a simple scene with just image-based textures and see what happens.
