thanks for the feedback ldgilman. yeah i looped the walking sequences a few times to fill up the the song :)  prob should have cut it off earlier. 

Quote - Yeah, but hours? Really? Maybe if you have 500 ppl in the scene, each with a different hair. I can do a hair that has 20 material zones in less than 2 minutes. By hand.

ok we all know ur a pro, we get it. you know exactly what to do to fix this issue and which files need to be fixed (if not using scripts)

but a beginner using poser would not instantly know how to do it in minutes let alone know where or which files to fix.

and the gamma change is not the only thing that was needed on some hair products.  Sometimes the gamma change would produce awkward colored hair that did not look natural or the desired intended color. from my understanding, not all hair products were created equally, some vendors did things differently then others, so applying the same script sometimes didnt fix everything.  

Quote - Spending hours? I don't get it. All you need is a copy of Snarlygribbly's Scene Fixer and it changes the gamma on all the black and white maps in a second. Even if you did it by hand it doesn't even come close to hours, but minutes. Unless you're clueless.

no need to flame, i see the forums still have unfriendly people :)

I remember using the scripts to change the gamma but  there were still some issues that needed to be done to the hair to get a final product other than changing the gamma. I cant remember what I did but it wasn't "in minutes" as you stated.  

i just check the first 5 or 6 items on the front page, if i see them from yesterday then I assume there's nothing new....

maybe they wised up and finally created a "recent files" option for the file menu?

Quote - I'm assuming Poser Pro of some description? Might want to put Poser version in your signature.

If it is Poser Pro, you need to check your texture files (transparency maps) for gamma settings: should be set to 1.

Search: hair gamma in Poser forum search.

ok thanks for the reply. I'm using poser pro 2012 and  changed the gamma as you have stated and it did the trick! Thanks again!

i would run msconfig and look at your startup services to see if anything is unusual. you might have to sort it by "running" services and google each service to see if it should be running or not. 

i would also check your event logs to see if there's anything unusual or any error messages.

also might want to update your video card driver.

i'm for realism if it's a made up character

but for a celebrity, i want the real thing

Hi Snarlygribbly,

thanks for the update and the fix. I just tested it and it works very nicely.  The render output after using this script is amazing. Thanks again, this script is awesome!

oh ok, sorry about that. I misread the error. Anyways here is the output from running the script. So I need to add an entry to the xml file? what would I put for the @ name? thanks

Figure name: Victoria4
Object file: blMilWom_v4.obj

'Class' : {
"1_EyeSocket" : "ignore",  "1_Eyebrow" : "ignore",  "1_Lip" : "ignore",  "1_Nostril" : "ignore",  "1_SkinFace" : "ignore",  "2_Nipple" : "ignore",  "2_SkinHead" : "ignore",  "2_SkinHip" : "ignore",  "2_SkinNeck" : "ignore",  "2_SkinTorso" : "ignore",  "3_Fingernail" : "ignore",  "3_SkinArm" : "ignore",  "3_SkinFoot" : "ignore",  "3_SkinForearm" : "ignore",  "3_SkinHand" : "ignore",  "3_SkinLeg" : "ignore",  "3_Toenail" : "ignore",  "4_Gums" : "ignore",  "4_InnerMouth" : "ignore",  "4_Teeth" : "ignore",  "4_Tongue" : "ignore",  "5_Cornea" : "ignore",  "5_Iris" : "ignore",  "5_Lacrimal" : "ignore",  "5_Pupil" : "ignore",  "5_Sclera" : "ignore",  "6_Eyelash" : "ignore",  "7_EyeSurface" : "ignore",  "7_Tear" : "ignore",  "Preview" : "ignore",  }

Hi Snarlygribbly,

thanks for the reply.  Here is a screenshot of the error:

Also, I tried it again but with just the v4.2++ base model and it worked ok. So I think it probably has something to with this v4 model (its a v4 with RM Elaine morphs/mats applied)

I tried to use this but it keeps telling me I don't have a figure selected, even though I have selected the figure (Victoria 4) . It's the only thing in the scene, no clothes, hair, etc.

The ezskin.xml just has an entry for "@DAZGEN3", I tried adding one for "@Victoria4" but same error.  Can someone let me know if I need to do anything else? thanks

I am also looking for Vietnamese Ao Dai dresses and Vietnamese female and male character morphs. 

what if the shutting down of megaupload was due to mafia influences who want to reduce competition to their file sharing sites?

Hi Esther

thanks for the reply.  I actually found out yesterday that it is "Sassy Classy Hair"

the diamond hair looks similar too.
