That is correct. The issue was caused by some names in the texture files, which were based on a specific path used. 

Reality changes the path of the texture files once the scene is saved to disk. This is done to avoid storing absolute paths of files, which would prevent bein able to move the scene to another computer with equivalent Runtime. 

To do this Reality looks for the word "Runtime" in the path of the file. If the word appears twice, as in "C:UsersmyselfPoserRuntimesskinsV4Runtimegoodskingooskin.jpg" then Reality will change the path to be "RuntimesskinsV4Runtimegoodskingooskin.jpg" while it should have been "Runtimegoodskingooskin.jpg"

While I will make sure to make the algorythm more robust, the solution was simply to rename the base directory. 

Hope this helps.

 

I would have thought the textures in the scene are in the scene, not in the runtimes.  I don't see why reality would need the paths to the files.  Anyway, if changing the algorythm to make it more robust can be done, that would be really good, thank you.  I would not look forward to that particular problem, because I don't do my runtimes like any of these examples.
