Things got worse and worse. After SR1 the pzformax plugin lookes buggy , after SR2 and SR3, now finally it gives me whatever hosted in Max without a single texture map! So it is not some issure about transparent maps with a bad render result, but where is the textures? I have heard about losing texture in PPP plugin for max months ago but it SHOULD be solved in SR3. Another strange thing is that the SR3 doesnt make any change in plugin according to the website of CL, but many says using SR3 will solve texture problem. So it is not some issure about transparent maps, but where is the textures? is it a matter of path? Well it didnt warn me to find texture for it as previous ones before the updater,the problem is that it never tried to load them that 's it. I have been struggling to solve this problem for days and now it seems really a mess. Could someone please tell me what the problem really is , I believe cl won't make such a fatal mistake. Help me help me! I bought pro pack for just one thing: Render poser figures by MentalRay or Final Render. Now such idea is heavily broken by empty models with no textures on it! My computer: K7 1.2G X2 (SMP), 1024Mb ram, Win ME, Max R4, Poser Pro Pack(SR3)

Zimmern,

I'm running MAX 4 (service pack 4.25) with PPPSR3 and all texture files transfer. The only problem occurs with transparency maps, which the plugin does not handle properly (but they can be easily corrected in MAX itself).

SR2 had a problem with figures transfering without textures. You'll find a description and workaround for this problem here :

(If this link does not work, search for SR2 in the Poserforum for last year).

You might check your pz3 file with a text editor to see if (for some reason) you still have the SR2 material problem.

iancollins10, Can you explain what the fix is?I tried looking at that link, but I'm having trouble registering with their site. Also, have you got it to work with a large scene? For example: Michael and vicki both fully clothed with large textures? Thanks.
