I use Poser 11 Pro and since the latest upgrade was able to pose my G2f/m just fine, Since the upgrade every time I I try to pose these characters I find that the clothing poses but the character does not. Not sure what I am doing wrong of if this is a known glitch.

Also, maybe I have stayed with V4 much too long but when I try to use G3F some of the models turn mannequin black and look like a store model from a store display, what did I do wrong? BTW they work just fine In Firefly just not Superfly.

I know these are probably answer back in archives some place but I got a little disconnected for a while after losing a family member for several years, and want to get back into my old hobby again. Thanks for any help!

The problem with Superfly renders showing figures as mannequin black is a common problem with figures and not limited to V4. While SM tried to make Superfly backwards compatible there are some nodes used in Firefly that Superfly just does not understand. For most the solution is to run the figure through EZSkin 3 - (Free stuff @ snarlygribbly.org/poser) which will correct the majority of the problems. Another problem that comes up is either ghostly eyes where they are rendered milky white or washed out tones, the latter not only on figures but props also this is almost always down to the use of 'alternate specular' in the material set up which again Superfly has problems with. That is not to say it cannot be used with Superfly but generally the way it is set up for Firefly does not work in Superfly. It should also be noted that such problems are often the result of 'cheats' used in Firefly that are no longer required in Superfly.

If you want to look in further depth is you go to the material room and use advanced any node that is an issue for Superfly will be denoted by a dotted line between nodes.

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
