I'm considering Poser 5, but I have recently purchased and am planning to purchase a lot of the character textures that currently work with P4. Will these still work for me if I upgrade? I've invested quite a bit in them, and since I'm almost done acquiring all the models and textures I need for a movie project, I'd hate to have to start all over if I bought Poser 5. Thanks to anyone who can answer this! --silver

we've been told that anything available for Poser4 will work with Poser5, how well they work is anyones guess at the moment, but seeing the pics mentioned in a thread earlier I'd say you're safe to carry on. Rob

i think there won't be any problem since the tex maps are uv maps based on .obj geometries (wavefront). i guess it will be common between P5 and P4.

I believe you should be OK as long as you use the textures on the objects they were created for. I wouldn't expect them to work on the new P5 figures.

From the few glimpses I've seen of screenshots, its probable that the new characters take Mike/Vickie textures. BUT I'm not 100% certain. Kupa says all our stuff will work. Kupa better be right :)

I have a funny feeling you're wrong about the textures Lyrra, those textures are set out differently, check out the pics for the head room, there's a head texture shown there & it's nothing like mike or vicky, it looks more like the textures for DinaV. Rob

texture maps apply to the models they are made for, since the p5 characters have different geometries it would be ALMOST inpossible for them to be 100% compatible, even if they were mapped to be very similar there would be some differences. Hopefully, they would be similar enough , however, that you would be able to copy and paste your old textures onto a new template. The textures you have purchased WILL still work on the character they were created for, but very likely not on the new characters unless you do quite a bit of editing.

I'm sure that someone will come along eventually and remap the new figures to accept older textures. And if not, you should be able to use your P4 figures in P5.
