Thanks everyone for your suggestions, I shall look through them and see which works best for me. Much appreciated. :)

lol... thats funny, well like i said, if you fancy checking out for other DZ genesis textures in the future just drop me a line.

All the best and have fun. :)

Thanks for that. You're image looks awesome, but someone already contacted me regarding testing and it all ended up being fine. So it's already up and running. http://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/fws-miltop-for-dz-miltop-by-dzheng/93929

I will be doing more DZ products, so if you're interesred you can just email me with your email address and I shall contact you directly next time I finished another texture to see if you have the original to do some testing.

Thanks again for offering your help, and I am sure we'll find something to test together in the future. :)

Thanks again all for your help. and yes I agree, it always is so different when you see others do something in a program and then you use it yourself. Of course it all take some getting use to, but I am sure it won't be long until I understand things more. Thanks again all and have a great weekend. :)

Oh I'll definitly will do more work on understanding it all, just needed to figure that part out first, then more understanding will come with using it. I hope :) But it's only the second time I am using it now since I got it, so it just frustrated me, and at least that part I get now. :) Thanks again all.

Thanks all, thats all sorted now. I was already googling GC and just found what it meant when your message came in :) So thanks all. and yes I know Pro means Profesional... but I wanted it for the render queue etc... just makes it easier as I am rendering a lot always. Thanks again everyone, I'm happy again. :)

Sorry to sound absolutly stupid... but where do I find that? I don't even know what GC stands for... I know bad... sorry  :/

Thanks for that, shall take you up on that offer, can't get into my poser program right now...grrrrr...., as doing some changes on the pc, hence I couldnt try it yet, thought would have been finished with the work by now (always takes longer than you think, doesnt it)... but should be all finished soon and then I can really get down with this one, so if ok with you, I shall contact you, probably within the next few days or so, maybe I could then send you a link to one of the characters I am working on so you can see the nodes etc and see if it could think it's even ok to do. Thanks again for your help, and will have to ask more about some of the things you said, was I want to make sure it is usuable to as many people as possible, so will have to find out more from you.... thanks again. :)

Thanks for sending those examples. Will give it a try and thats just perfect for what i was looking for. I already got a ton of nodes attached so hope it will still work, bit new to it all, but will see how it goes. Can I just add those extra nodes to the character? I got a lot of spots etc included to already make it looks more real, so hoping to be able to just add the oil look to it, if that makes sense... will have fun playing around with it all. Thanks again... :)

oh and I use poser 9

Thanks for that, shall have a look at it all now and see what i can come up with. Thanks for that, really helpful. :)

Thanks for letting me know, I thought it might be a case of making it myself... oh well, thats ok... will have to play with that a bit. Thanks for letting me know. And thanks also re the shader on DAZ, i did see that before, and when I looked at Pauls (vendor) own website he did mention in his FAQs that you could use it to resell, but said that because the shader is based on the lighting used at the time it wouldn't give the best results. So that's why I thought maybe someone knows of one that might work. but guess it's a make it yourself case, which is ok. :)

Thanks again

Fred

Thanks icandy, I saw that one before, Texture Paint Helper, and I liked it, but the thing that really put Blacksmith now in front is that you can subscribe to it now monthly, so no upfront big cost, so if after a while I dont like it I dont have a software I dont use, and if I love it, I get the license and drop the subscribtion.

So thanks to everyone for your imput. :)

Fred :)

Thanks for the comments, will give the demo a try and see how I feel, thanks also for saying about the saving, that helped a lot. WIll also look at  3d coat , thanks for mentioning it, will check it out now. THanks again, Fred :)

Thanks Laurie, I shall look into that, thanks for that. :)

Thanks again for everyones help. Here is what she did so far and what happens... that might explain things a bit more... i hope :)

She has installed the latest Flash for I.E and has the latest version of I.E too (version 8)....everything is updated. She even disabled Firefox so only I.E was the browser for the internet. Poser is going through the firewall no problem...and her art computer can access the local network.

The problem is, when she is in Poser 9, when she wantss to load the library, she has a message saying that Poser needs Flash....there is a link to download it from the Adobe Flash website. She does that (with IE) and when it is time to install the Flash exe, the installation fails….
