And what about poor Rikishi, who only has 2 sets of clothes?  And since I only bought the casual one and the business suit set is gone now, that's all he't got.

Quote - :sigh: There goes my plans for a new tablet. Oh well, I know what I want for Christmas this year. How does the Fitting Room do at converting shoes? Heels, especially. I have a lot of sexy V3 and V4 shoes that my M4 and Genesis characters wanna wear but CrossDresser, Wardrobe Wizard and DS Autofit just can't seem to handle without wrecking something.

What?? M4 can't wear V4 shoes even with those programs?

Ugh, how limiting.

Exciting news!  There is a glitch in the pricing though - for upgrading from poser 9
to Poser 10.  

If they really want to give a 40% discount, the upgrade price should be
$107.99, not $149.99.  At 149.99, that is only a 17% discount.

I hope they change that.

That is correct. The issue was caused by some names in the texture files, which were based on a specific path used. 

Reality changes the path of the texture files once the scene is saved to disk. This is done to avoid storing absolute paths of files, which would prevent bein able to move the scene to another computer with equivalent Runtime. 

To do this Reality looks for the word "Runtime" in the path of the file. If the word appears twice, as in "C:UsersmyselfPoserRuntimesskinsV4Runtimegoodskingooskin.jpg" then Reality will change the path to be "RuntimesskinsV4Runtimegoodskingooskin.jpg" while it should have been "Runtimegoodskingooskin.jpg"

While I will make sure to make the algorythm more robust, the solution was simply to rename the base directory. 

Hope this helps.

I would have thought the textures in the scene are in the scene, not in the runtimes.  I don't see why reality would need the paths to the files.  Anyway, if changing the algorythm to make it more robust can be done, that would be really good, thank you.  I would not look forward to that particular problem, because I don't do my runtimes like any of these examples.

Quote - OK in a earlier post I suggested those who were unsure might want to wait.  One of my reasons for this was that any scene that was saved with R3 information lost the link to the image map when the scene was reloaded.

Paolo has now worked on this and the problem is fairly specific and would only be seen by a small number of users.  I have all my content in a folder called Poser6 Runtines and then a number of different runtimes are in sub folders.  Ths gives R3 a problem in that R3, quite rightly, is structured so you can move the scene files and they will still work.  R3 however struggles with a path that has 'runtimes' twice in the path.  Paolo explains it much better in the troubleshooting thread at RDNA but I think I have the basics right.

Solotution was to rename my Folder to something without 'runtime' in the title and relink my library in Poser.  Ten minute fix and it all works.

More to the point the support that Paolo has given has been first class and the speed of the fix was unbelieveable.  So if you have concerns regarding Luxrender then try it first with the freebie as recommended.  If you have any concerns over Reality 3 I would say that should not stop you jumping in.  There will be issues, it is less than a week old, but I have no doubt in Paolo's ability and, more importantly, his willingness to fix any issues.

But.....doesn't reality work with the finished scene, and not the raw materials sitting in the runtimes?

Well that's good to know too, thank you!  Willyb53's advice worked like a charm!

fabulous, thank you!

Thank you, but I want all the content in one external runtime, not lumped into into 2 different spots.  And the daz content certainly would be lumped.  Now that I have 3DCI  again it won't be quite so painful. :)

Quote - TylerZambori,

what I do is put almost everything in external runtimes.  I have 100s of them. I think you said you were getting advanced library manager.  once you have that then the external runtimes become really quick and easy to use.  and to install renderosity content just rename the folder enclosing the runtime to something you will be able to find again quickly.  and put your folder with your other external runtimes.

Also I think advanced library manager also installs but I have never used this feature.

If you need to email me I can tell you more details of my setup so it is quick and easy to install and use poser stuff. esther@pacefiction.com

Saying that I do pay a university student to do my daz content installations.

Thanks Esther :).  I've now been able to re-download it, thanks everyone!  Yes, I did get the advanced library manger. The process is much faster with 3DCI, but those old daz installers are painfully slow. I sure wish I could afford to hire somebody to do this for me too!

Thank you! 

Cool, thank you so much.

Quote - TylerZambori,

I would not like to be without any of my scripts.  But here are the ones I use the very most:-

I use advanced figure manager 2 and advanced library manger the very most, then next I use the lights and parameters ie all the utilities 2 scripts, but the advanced material mangager is a real timesaver at times., and I can't be without advanced shaders launcher and art materials toon plugin because that is how I do my tooning for my comic.

Thanks very much estherau! 

But which one can automatically clothe a figure in a whole folder full of clothing figures instantly with the conform to scale and magnetize to V4 etc all checked, and  can then change several materials of the differnent clothes in one hit as well?

Which script does that???  I really need that one.

Quote - It's the advanced library manager.  so when you go to your pose folder and choose a pose, if you right click on it, you get options to just pose a part.

But I am on poser pro 2012 so I don't know if it would work for you or not.

Maybe someone else can answer that I hope.

I have lots of his scripts and I don't know if there would be any I could do without.  I'm constantly using them.  Some more than others, but at times even the ones I don't use very often come in handy.

Which ones do you use the most?

I can only get a few of these now, even at these low prices.

What would be the most essential ones?

OMG, this is great comedy writing!  And the timing is not too slow!

Tell your friends they should keep at learning poser!  I want to subscribe to their channel!
