ummm, what I mean Laurie, can I use an alternate texture on a blank item. I have the files still installed in my DAZ folder (obj, cr2 etc files) but for the most part I don't have the textures for those particalur Items seeing that they went bye-bye. Now I do have quite a few zip folders that I did back up but for some reason some of my zips (and RAR) folders disappeared, just a few but everytime I load an item I get a message from DAZ that it could not find a certain texture and when I try to manually load the texture from my runtime/textures folder the file is not there, of course I am going to say cancel then skip, etc for all the textures that DAZ can not find for that item, then the item loads and I have a non-textured item (all white). I do have some freebie textures from another creator for that item, and I was wondering if I can load those on the item to give it a texture?
