Quote - Ok I'm going to contradict most of what 3DNeo said just there... No disrespect intended 3DNeo..
I always import with Poser shader Tree selected, have never once had a missing texture message, nor have I had OOm's or incorrect scaling on import. From what I've read elsewhere the scaling issue can be attributed to the wrong setting in your options, [1 selected instead of 0.1]
As an aside and a need for more info, which version of Vue and Poser are you using?
Currently I'm using Poser 7 and Vue 8.4 Infinite, although I also have 8.5 which is still buggy.
Maybe 3DNeo is talking about 8.5 which is why I'm not seeing issues when using 8.4....
I don't use 8.5 all the time yet because of it's reliability issues..
Just to clarify so there is no false information, my info is 100% correct and comes straight from e-on technical support. As I stated, these are bugs that have been confirmed by e-on going all the way back to Vue 7. I worked with a tech personally at e-on with several issues regarding Poser import problems which was all well documented with several posts on their web site.
This has to do with the "Poser Shader Tree" having KNOWN issues due to the Smith Micro SDK as I discovered and e-on reported to Smith Micro. These are CONFIRMED and can NOT be disputed. Yes, they may appear to work OK, but I have proven to them several broken areas that are not correct with source files sent to them and they verified. In fact, I was the FIRST to report several of these issues and the tech said no one had reported these and few take the time to prove the results in a detailed reports like I did with e-on. One of the problems has to do with the way the SDK tries to read the shaders and translate them to Vue. It may seem OK on some figures imported, but can be seen on others, especially with darker skin tones that appear as blotches.
As I pointed out prior many times, other errors include OOM (Out of Memory) which they also confirmed. It happens at random times regardless of how much RAM you have. The size scale issue is also KNOWN and is a random happening as well. Sometimes it will scale properly, other times it will not. Both Lee Randall and the tech guy I worked with on these issues confirmed this too.
So, as I have reported on e-on, this is something KNOWN by e-on and I worked with them one-on-one for these issues with a tech guy. It goes all the way back to Vue 7 and is a problem with ALL versions they found up to present. It is the Smith Micro SDK they are blaming and not the code in Vue. I was told until Smith Micro releases a NEW SDK for them to try it will remain a problem on several levels. Also, they said the current SDK was going to fix the Poser Pro 2010 importing, but instead broke many things. According to e-on, there is "no official support for Poser Pro at this time" until resolved. Only Poser 7 and Poser 8 are officially supported.
Hope this clears everything up as this was already posted over at e-on months ago.
