Hey, Thanks geep!, sorry DR geep! Bigfoot bows to your rsr wrangling skills! I know it had to be possible. Steve's tutorial is really good, but I'm surprised he didn't add in the little thing about deleting the rsr. I would have never figured this out! Invaluable advice! Now to work..

Here's the lower left corner of the new map. The red smiley is about the position of the head on the original map. Bare in mind that I did manage to apply the new map to the new model correctly ( see the first screenshot), but now it's off as if Poser didn't over write the old figure with the new one or something, using the geep method.

Ok, First off thanks geep for typing your fingers off I appreciate the effort. Thanks also to Nance but I think I need some more input here as this is not apparently an easy thing ( as I suspected ). I took geep's advice and copied the original and saved it elsewhere. I than saved the new bigfoot model in UV Mapper as "blBigft.obj" which was the original name for it in the Geometries folder. I did manage to find the original Cr2 in the Libraries>Zygote Characters folder (shows what I know, I thought it would be in the Geometries folder). Now just to be clear here, In the Geometries>Zygote Characters folder the files were (are) named "blBigft.obj" and "blBigft.rsr". In the Libraries>Zygote Characters folder the files are named "Bigfoot. rsr" and "Bigfoot cr2". Why they are not named the same in both folders I dont know. I didn't rename them. I saved the new map in UVMapper as blBigfoot. bmp. I opened the figure in Poser (did not import)and applied the map to the skin and you see the result. So obviously something is still not right. I believe in the original map for Bigfoot the head was in about the same area as the green "inner mouth" is now on the new map ( see image) as you can see it on the face. So Poser still is using the old map even though I saved the new model over the top of the original one. Any thoughts?

Thanks for your comments Nance, Ok here's what I can tell. I looked in the "Zygote Characters" folder were the exe placed the figure from the disc. This is the Bigfoot character from the Poser 4 Pro Pack fx and design book. This is not a downloaded character from Zygote or Daz. It appears that only a Bigfoot obj. and an rsr. are in the Geometries>Zygote Characters folder. I don't have a lot of savy with Poser yet so forgive me if I'm missing the basics here. I went thru the exact steps that Steve Cox's tutorial goes thru about doing a remap. I opened UVMapper loaded the original bigfoot obj made a New Plannar Map for it and then went thru various remapping steps to seperate the body parts. I then saved the "new" model as Bigfoot 2 and saved the new map. I then imported the Bigfoot 2 obj into Poser and that's were I'm at. It takes the new map fine like it should it just isn't posable because Poser sees it as a Static Model from what I can tell and that's the part I'm having trouble understanding. If I cant pose the remapped model then what's the point of remapping? Like I said I must be not understanding the process or something. Nothing new there!

Ok, I'll try to be helpful. I've heard many people before and from what little experience I have say that eyewhite's aren't white. They do look more realistic when they are a slight purpleish pink color. Sample some color from photos and experiment. I also think the eyelashes especially on the bottom lids are a little short and or thin. There's also something about the line of lip color on the upperlip where it meets the flesh that just sticks out at me but I can't put my finger on what to suggest. Overall tho everything looks good! Hope I was of some help.

Thanks everybody for your responses. I'm sure I'll be asking some more about details once I get it going.

Thanks JeffH, appreciate the fast response! That was really obnoxious and your fix took care of it. Thanks also to Ronknights for the screenshot that helped as well. Anyone with this goofy bug this solution will squash it! Thanks thgeisel for your advice on the Updater Save folder too!

The profile headshot is very realistic looking, good stuff!

I resaved the window smaller on a file and closed it and then started to make a new file and I get the same " window size too large message" again. I then opened my file with the smaller window and I get the message again. Somebody clue me in here. It seems that I'm getting this warning no matter what file I open. I'm going to bed now I'll check back and see if anyone know's what's up with this in the morning. Thanks, droyd

A couple of things I thought I'd mention since I'm at it. I just opened Poser since I updated it and now the position of my document window ( or whatever it's called) is not were I saved it when I set the prefered state. The rest of the interface is saved just the window isn't. I moved it where I wanted it and closed it and Poser. The second time I opened Poser I got this message: "The requested window size is too large, creating the next best thing". Or something to that effect. What's that all about? Now I now why they say if it's not broke dont fix it!

Thanks Lynn for taking the time to respond here. Thanks also to Audity for setting me straight. I guess I didn't understand about the 4.03 full update containing all the previous updates. I just went to eon and read it again and I guess that "Update from any previous version" means just that! I kind of assumed it did but you all know what happens when we assume... Thanks everybody for responding, I always appreciate it!

Ok, Sounds like I'm not alone here. I agree with MikeJ that it would be nice if they just give you a quick reply to let you know they're looking into your question. That's all I really wanted anyway. This is the exact question I asked : Hi, I recently had to reinstall Vue 4 after a clean install of windows. Should I only install the 4.03 update or do I need to install the 4.01 update as well. I have the soleil/ sun naming problem and the render to disk crash problem. end of message^ I did come here and sort of asked the same question and got some decent answers. Thanks again to those that responded. I sent them this question for 2 reasons. I wanted to get the answer from the horses mouth since I'm just overly paranoid about installing patches that I may not need (4.01) and I also wanted to see if they would respond since they didn't the last time I asked a question. I know that I would probably find out what I needed to do by just installing the updates and seeing what happened. I was just hoping they'd tell me in a day or so, so I didn't have to install uneeded updates. Am I too paranoid....probably!

I checked it out and it is cool! My favorite sword!Thanks for offering this as a freebie! I'm going to IM you as soon as I can. I wanted to give you a couple more technical comments on it.

Hi Mon, I wish I could help. I too could use any tips with using Iso's wonderful models. If you don't get much of a response to your question here I'd post a new message with a title like " Need help with Iso's kimono!" Just a thought.

Thanks Varian, I'll check out the link!
