I waited a while in case anyone with a real answer came forward first, since they didn't here are a couple of suggestions. As far as I remember many lululee products need a python plugin to work, I think it's called supershaders or something. (If you go to the product page here it should tell you exactly what it is, or look in the product readme.) This used to be free at RDNA, think it was transferred to DAZ. Have you installed this? Not sure why the sexyskins would work on some v4's and not others, if you haven't installed but who knows. Was your v4 bikini default scene originally created with your poser 9? I'm wondering if it brings something into the scene that is needed but missing when you open a new scene in p11

The little spinning wheel often comes up when poser is looking for a file. Depending on your settings and size of runtimes it can take a long time for poser to either find it or give up. Try setting the search to shallow or off in general preference (edit menu, general preferences, library) Then if poser can't find a file it needs you will get the search window appear much quicker to give you a clue what's wrong.

Another spinning wheel problem I've had in the past is when for some reason poser has problems opening a pop up window to report a problem, this could be related to the supershader issue.

thank you for responding. no, the bikini v4 is one i made, as in i deleted that dummy one that came with poser, popped in v4.2 i think, loaded up all her INJs, then saved it as my preferred state for when poser opens. i know now that i can just click New and have her come up for a new document window, then import whatever figure i want to have using the secondskin texture, apply it, delete the v4 and save the newly painted on character to be imported into a previous scene at a later date. so i don't think it's the figure. it has to be something with that default setting though. i do not have the fading background or default lights on my preferred state. i just can't think of what it could be and i honestly don't know where to look to compare.

basically i have a work-around but i'd rather not have to do all that. i know the shaders you're talking about. i'[ll see what her page says.

here's the product page of the item in question - https://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/?ViewProduct=97608 - for her denim one, which i have tried to use previously, it says it's daz studio only. this one though is for poser people, she says she doesn't offer support for daz users. she does have this in the required section:

Semideu FREE Plugin

if we need to take our chat off to DM just give me a poke. i don't want to hog up the thread - but i also bet i'm not the only one who's trying to figure this out or something similar ;) i'm weird but i'm not THAT weird!

**also, they don't seem to be available at daz either. i've got some script in my poser menus already, with the info Shaderworks>Advanced Shaders> and then some more options. i am really not sure what to do next with a script. does it play itself, do i need to click something?
