Hi! Here's hoping someone can help me. I have Poser Pro Pack and I have the DAZ Fairy. When I load the original fairy, she loads fine (without her textures). Yesterday, I bought the mats from DAZ and installed them. When I load either the Cool or Warm fairy, neither one of them show on my screen. If I go to Edit Materials, all the materials are there but no dice, I can't see the model. This is probably really dumb, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong! Please help! ;o)

I need some clarification. Is it the model you don't see, or the textures being applied to the model?

Thanks for trying to help me: I double-click on the Cool or Warm Fairy icon, supposedly the model loads but there's nothing on my screen. However, if I go to Edit Materials, all the textures are listed there for the body parts and if I pick a body part from the menu (under the screen), they're all there but, still, my screen is empty. I'ts like the model is invisible. Sorry if this explanation is clear as mud! LOL

Are these the pose type MatMap files which are stored in the pose library and end in pz2. they don't normally load a figure, just apply the textures to a figure you already have in the scene. Is this the type of file you're working with?

The material pack I bought from DAZ was an .exe file and just self-installed into the appropriate folder(s). I thought I was just buying the texture maps but, it looks like they loaded as characters. They're under "Figures". I have one icon for the plain fairy, then another icon for the Cool Fairy, and a third for the Warm Fairy. If I load the plain fairy then double-click on the Cool or Warm icon (as if to apply just the texture), it tells me that it's changing the figure. So, I guess that's not how it works. I should be able to double-click on the Cool or Warm fairy and have her load on the screen with her appropriate textures. Instead she loads in "invisible". I'm at work right now and I can't try it out but I will download the PPP 2nd service pack. Maybe that will help. I'm sure this is just a glitch... :o(

Ok, I have the pro pack and when I click on the faerie she shows up. Are you cliking on the faerie and then clicking on the textured one? Bounlua, these are the old Zygote faeries, they don't use map files, they actually load an rsr of the faerie under characters. You should be able to use these with the pro pack installed. You might want to get hold of Daz and see if they've had a problem. My original faeries were not in an executable install form, something might be missing in the install itself. Marque

Thank you both for the help! I think I got it to work. I reinstalled the mat file. At first, it was telling me it wasn't finding the object, so I tracked it down and put it in the right folder. It must have been a glitch! Thanks again. -Nathalie
