hi there. i'm a newbie...

i am using Poser Pro 11, on a windows 10 system. i have read through all sixteen crazy and amazingly helpful posts on this thread... (you guys are awesome for sharing your knowledge, my gods, the things i learned just skimming - !)

i'm a fan of lululee, merchant here with sexy 2nd skins. same with Darkworld's lovely skins. but i can't get them to work in my setup. i made sure i have the latest download manager from smith micro, restarted computer as suggested, then loaded up poser. i have it so a default bikini-clad fully injected V4 comes up when i start my program. i tried to put lululee's denim corset on her and hurrah, that worked...but then i opened up a custom character based off of FRAD Macha from rosity here, and it won't take the corset. nothing happens except the 'busy' cursor/mouse icon. i have my girl selected. she's completely nude. in the preview pane, no corset. in the render, no corset. i had this problem a version or two ago and i would actually have to load up Poser 9, put the second skin on, save, then load it in whatever the poser was that i was using and then render it and it would work. but i don't have a second poser program installed right now and frankly i don't want one. i want to figure this out. i know there's a fix. some little thing i'm doing wrong. i've tried a few python scripts. lots of the links in the previous posts here are outdated and broken (i miss RDNA, so much...) it doesn't make sense. a mostly nude untextured V4.2 or whatever takes the 2nd skin corset - but my lovely avatar does not?

also - i tried an experiment just now. opened a New document so that the bikini vicky came in, then i imported MY girl into the same scene. and the corset loads onto her - what the fel?? what is off in my settings or whatever? i really haven't fooled around a lot so i don't think i did some wacky thing while messing about. i tend to point and click.

experience wise, i am completely ignorant about nodes, doing more than changing colours of materials, the math stuff in this program, etc. i just make things look as purty as i can, so go gently with advice =/
