Subject: Genesis in vue: texture with gray areas ... has solution?

Hello, Well, I'm going to Poser Pro2012 for Vue10complete, importing Genesis PZ3 poser in all this as well, but when in vue, the texture does not work correctly, showing white / gray areas. I'm using UV_set M4 and M4 textures characters in Genesis. The UV V4 works perfectly, the texture v4 is in perfect genesis in Vue, but my characters are somewhat farmers / Cowboys, so that a delicate texture and female V4 is not desirable for men, sweaty, dirty dust.   it's fixable in Vue? Below I placed a render of the same character made in Poser and rendered in Vue

It looks like it is switching the UVs used someplace along the way.

maybe I should try it again and this time put the dson script out of the addons folder.

I did tell daz we need an on off switch for that script but they totally ignored me.  They couldn't see the need.

Ok,
But the texture works perfect on them, while in Poser, while inside the poser's okay ... The problem is when it enters the Vue.
I am using Vue10complete with SDK September 2012 ... Is that someone with current versions of vue, is having the same problem?
There SDK Vue 2014 ... 2013? ...
Or ... if I do the animations in Poser and export only the footages of the characters in Vue, I would like to manipulate the direction of footage inside the Vue?

I noticed a 2013 SDK with Vue. can't try it though as I'm reinstalling stuff rightnow.

Yeah ... But now, people are saying that also has the same problem, even using the SDK October 2013 ... It seems that all roads lead to one place ...

It looks to me like the subdivision cage has been exported too. I have seen that before and it is easy to fix. Can you show a screen shot of the scene browser in Vue with the genesis model expanded to show all parts?

The scene browser is on the bottom right. Expand the "Untitled" object by clicking on the plus sign. That way we can see what parts are contained in the model.

This image definitely indicates a UV problem, but if the subd cage is still there, that might be what you see.

Ahh, I see. genesis here with UV_set M4 and M4 Oldman texture of JSGraphics


thd777 ( ) posted Wed, 05 March 2014 at 9:08 AM

Darn. It's welded... This was imported from a saved .pz3 out of Poser, right? Select the "body" in the browser and click "Edit Object" (either from the buttons at the top or from the right click menu). In that window you should have the option to select "split". It is under Mesh information "Number of materials". Click the split button. Now you can expand all parts in the scene browser and post another shot. Then we should beable to tell what has been exported.

What are you using to export to Vue? If it's Poserfusion I'm assuming since it doesn't have python scripting (I think), DSON can't sent the proper information to it via SM's plugin architecture. If that's the case, it's only sending the base UV, which is V4. Your only solution from that point would be to convert the textures to V4 UV.

I saved the file in PZ3 format, then open the file in vue.
how to convert the texture of m4 to v4?

Quote - Hmm, ok
here it is:

Alright. The subd cage is not exported. This means it is indeed a messed up UV. Vue doesn't recognize the fact that the UV is changed because that is handled via the DSON plugin. No easy work around short of converting the texture as Male3_M3Dia mentioned.

I usually export all figures from DAZ Studio as .obj. That works without a problem for me.

I presume that this item will only convert male texture for male figure and female for female only ... am I right?

I have that one. If you have the correct plugin you can convert between any of the suported figures. For example M4 to V4 or V4 to Young teen (Laura).

So it is possible that this solves my problem?

Because if so, I'll return a texture that I bought today in the morning daz store: "Victoria 4 Male GW4 Texture", and invest the cancelation of the purchase that convert

It has been a while since I used it, but I do have the needed plugins. Let me give it try tonight when I get home and I can tell you for sure if it works or not.

OK, I have run a quick test. Definitely works. Here is the M4 Aaron texture converted to V4 with TC2 and the V4 plus M4 plugins, loaded on Genesis in Poser Pro 2014 with Citizen X shape dialed in, saved as .pz3, imported into Vue 2014 Infinite and rendered. Looks fine. I also applied one level of subdivision in Vue as the imported figure seems to be at base resolution.

This works but is certainly pricey right now. Theprogram is not on sale (hasn't been in some time as far as I know) and you also need the V4 and the M4 plugins. That makes it over $40. It is a nice little tool though. Somewhat slow because it does not use multiple threads.

Hope this helps

Wow! Finally a light at the end of the tunnel!!
I can not believe it! want it now
TC2 - V4
TC2 - Michael 4 Plug-in
Texture Convertor 2 (TC2)
is this is almost $ 50.00 ... (and the quotation of the dollar is high, when converted to my local currency: Real Brazil) But I've tried everything and could not result so far.
This will be my last attempt ... I've ordered the money back (the purchase I made this morning: "Victoria 4 Male GW4 Texture") ... And the money has been credited to my account in daz 3d.
Just a little more, and post the results
My vue10complete is limited ... But if that work for me ... Is this the end of suffering 2 weeks on top of that!
Let me see what it is capable ...

AAH! HA! HA! HA! HAAA!!!!! Works!!!! I can not believe it! This is the solution! Wow, and he (converter texture is very intuitive, and it will indicate we need to do!) I'm loving it now! Here are some examples: Sliman Oldman Yago all now converted to V4 in texture converter, and applied to Genesis and also applying UV_set V4. That's what I wanted! It was what I was looking for!
