Hi folks I hope you're all as excited about the new Poser as I am! And the new content that is included - isn't it impressive?

I know some people have experienced difficulties, but I hope the problems will be sorted out soon. I know everyone on the Bondware team is working flat out and doing their best, so I think all the issues will be ironed out soon.

So… what next for Snarly?

First off, I've just uploaded a fix for EZSkin 2 so that it doesn't crash in Poser 11.2 Now, EZSkin 2 isn't supposed to work AT ALL in Poser 11, but I know some people do still use it, so it might as well not crash :) Anyway, grab it here: (It's the 'EZSkin 2 fix' file - just replace your old version with the one in the zip)

Some other scripts, notably by Dimension3D, Shaderworks and the Reality plugin aren't too happy about running in Poser 11.2 either. I've made a fix for that, which is being tested at the moment. Soon you'll be able to get them all working again :) (If anybody on a Mac computer wants to test it, that'd be cool - contact me by Sitemail)

Next up, I'm going to make a completely new version of SceneFixer. That script is not supposed to be used in Poser 11 (but of course I can't stop you) as it wasn't designed to work with the changes made to the Material Room. I originally wrote it just for my own use, and kept adding stuff to it in a completely disorganised fashion. Anyway, now that I'm going to be using Poser again I want a version of that utility which is suited for Poser 11, so I'm going to make one. And it's going to be much better :)

More news later…

Sir, you do rock. Your scripts are my workflow lifeblood and your return to Poserdom is truly exciting. Thank you for your generosity.

I concur with Rhia. You DO rock. Please let me know by site mail about the script fix for Reality and others. I will like to be part of the really early adopters/adapters of Poser. Ahhh for the good old days!

Very good ! Thank you for coming back to the scene. Also, thank you for providing some support for users of the late D3D’s scripts.

WOOT! WOOT!! WOOT!!! The MAN is back in the house!! Glad to see you back, and so enthused, Snarly. I look forward to your updates, and any new goodies you might come up with.

Sir, you are a gentleman and a scholar.

THANK YOU!

Also, if you need a complete idiot about scripting to test stuff, let me know LMAO

Thanks man! You're the best!!!

Nice one, old chap. Top bloke. Many thanks. I loves me some EZ Skin 2, since it plays nicely with prop hair.

Installed and running just fine. Once again, many thanks.

Great to have you back. Your scripts and your inputs are absolutely appreciated.

Awesome - thanks so much!!

thank you so much !

Still curious as to what you did to trick Poser, but as you Brits say, "Thanks mate!"

Awesome! Thank you!!

Hi Snarly!

Any chance you will update EZMat? You see one aspect I use is the Texture Manager ... if the textures have a numbered indicator (2_teeth, 1_iris) You can drop a mat file in and instruct it to populate all references to that map. A real time saver when you want to use a shader you like and just change the maps. I know that the shader section was for firefly using bagginsbills (and others) great shaders ... but a Superfly version with all the wonderful little perks would be amazing.

Just some food for thought. And again, Welcome back!!

I rarely set up a Poser scene without EZSkin3 or EZMetals being involved, usually both; so it's good news to have you back on the job, so to speak. :) In addition though, I use one or other of the late Dimension3D's scripts nearly every time I use Poser, so if you can make them play nicely in 11.2 you will truly be the hero of the hour!

Any particular ones causing a problem? Oh, and thanks :)

Any particular ones causing a problem?

Not to me, yet. I'm just going by hearsay at this point; XL has been mentioned on the forums. I'm still downloading stuff, and my SM licence is a permanent one so I plan to hold off upgrading until the early adopters have shaken all the bugs out for me. :)

I use Render Firefly every time I render, XS nearly every time I go in the material room, and XL is my preferred method for importing DAZ Studio content. Those three would be top of my 'show stopper' list, if it helps. And thank you!

I know that XL works once my AVFix has been applied. I suspect the same will be true for XS, but I don't have that one :)

I imagine he used the same code in several products, so I'd tend to agree the outlook is good.

I'll try updating my test machine after the initial hue and cry has settled down, and if nobody else has tried it in the interim I'll happily report my findings. We probably need a 'Python scripts that work in 11.2' thread, but let's wait until your AVFix is released since that will definitely put a different slant on things.

I seem to recall you stepped back some due to healthy issues. I seriously hope this enthusiasm for the new Poser indicates that your health has improved and you are feeling better. (I also hope your previous issues weren't caused by the old Poser...) In any case, it is nice to see you still around, Snarly!

ah, running 11.2 and using scene fixer on a Mac and except for the remove unused textures which did not work right when superfly showed up all is good for me (so far)

will site mail to be a mac beta tester for you only because your stuff is the bomb! :)

A major script I use is D3D's Perfect Skin SSS Lite, which will not work in Poser 11.2.

Any chance you have a work around for it? Would greatly appreciate it!

So glad you're back! Thanks for returning and taking an interest in the new Poser. Your work is terrific.

Do you get an error message? If so, could you post it? If it's a crash please elaborate the sequence of events.

With no clues as to what's going wrong, there's not much I can do. As quietrob says, you need to show the error message.

Snarly’s AVFix at Poser Lounge allows Perfect Skin to run.

For the EZSkin2 fixit, will it still run in Poser Pro 2014, as well as Poser 11.2?

I can't test in PP2014 as I no longer have it installed. Still, it should work in both. Best is to download the latest version of EZSkin2 (see EZSkin_2_fix.zip at http://snarlygribbly.org/poser/ and then AVFix is not needed.

Ooh, thanks, I didn't see that. Is there any chance you can get Snow Machine working in Poser 11.2?

After running the "avfix" of Snarlygribbly I got this error message. Any chance of a fix? I'm using Poser 11.2

I tried to download EZSkin2 fix, but the download time just kept going up and up. I had to give up. I am on a fast internet computer. I don't know what the problem is. Also, your site took a long time to load.

It's either your machine, or something's corrupted. The download's only 62 Kb, darn near instantaneous. So's the website, just links and text. I just tried.

OK. Thanks. Worked this time and it was fast. Now, can I put EZSkin2 fix into the new Poser 11.2 runtime? Or, where shall I place it?

It can go anywhere you like. However, if you put it into the scriptsmenu of your application runtime, then it will appear in the Poser menu, which saves you from having to browse to the saved location. Best is to just overwrite the previous file, though - it is a direct replacement for it.

The EZSkin2 fix is only for Firefly, isn't it? Should I also keep the EZSkin3 for Superfly? Or, will the EZSkin2 fix work for both Firefly and Superfly?

EZSkin 3 does not need a fix and continues to work normally in Poser 11.2. The fix is only for EZSkin 2, which isn't recommended for any version of Poser 11 but some people like to use it anyway, which is why I updated it. I'm surprised it doesn't cause problems in Poser 11 :-D

I have now tested the Perfect Skin SSS Script by D3D, and it seems to work fine when using AVFix. Are sure you had AVFix running at the time?

I just grabbed AVFIX - haven't plugged it in yet, but THANK YOU so much! I absolutely LOVE EZSKIN - I use it all the time... It makes my Girls look awesome. ?

Dude, read the thread. I gave the link above.

Well, I went to the snarlygribbly page. I don't see an AVFIX there.

You can get the script here https://www.poserlounge.nl/PLWP/

Thank you very much, RedPhantom.

Thanks everybody! Sorry I did not come back and answer the question about the error I got in D3D's Perfect Skin SSS Lite, but the error I was getting was exactly the one JBeute was getting, and the avfix patch worked!

By the way in case anyone has the script and is searching the forums for this fix. Here is how to add La Femme support to the program: edit the Perfect Skin SSS.fig file in Notepad or your favorite text editor. Below [!!!MATERIAL!!!] add the line "lafemme1 = lafemme" below [!!!NAME!!!] add the line "lafemme = La Femme" and at the very bottom add:

[lafemme]
skin = Lips SkinHead SkinLimbs SkinTorso
nail = Fingernails Toenails
mouth = Gums InnerMouth
tongue = Tongue
teeth = Teeth
eyewet = InnerEye
pupil = Pupil
eye = Iris
sclera = Sclera
cornea = EyeSurface
trans = Eyelashes Eyebrows

I made a typo in the pathname for the avfix. Everything works as intended.

Thanks.

none of this works in poser 12.... Waste of time and of money.

I believe they're working on fixing both Snarly's and D3D's scripts to work in Poser 12.

One of the problems is that they were forced to upgrade to Python 3, since Python 2 reached its end of life. That broke all the previous Python scripts.

Another problem is that the way some shaders work in Poser 12 has changed, and I think it's still being fiddled with.

What a lot of us are doing is keeping Poser 11 so we can run the old scripts, then rendering in Poser 12. Poser 12 is much faster at Superfly renders. Though you may have to adjust the materials a little.

Yes, right now it requires soime workflow adjustments. But so is life as we move forward in this strange new world. I find it oddly apt.

If we keep being stuck in a rut, we end up narrow and restricted. I keep playing with P11 and P12 together while awaiting the script updates.
