Oh Lisa! These are just lovely!

Laurie! These are just stunning! Wonderful wonderful job!

I had the same problem several times... it seemed to go away after rebooting and starting over. I know this isn't much help... but at least you know you're not alone with this problem.

I keep saying that I am going to walk away from this, but I am feeling so terrible that I simply cannot without saying just a few more things. I made a horrible error in judgement here. I was not "out to get" anyone with this message. It was really just a comment on the quality control issue. I should have handled it differently but I didn't and that is something that I have to live with. Exotica has been amazing in fixing the error and now that I have the correct files the texture renders just as I had hoped. I don't know that I could have been as kind or gracious as she was under the same circumstances. As for JeffH. Until today I had never had any kind of contact with him, and it seems that I read more into his "straight forward" nature than I should have. For that I am sorry as well. I have never meant anyone harm in any of these postings... that's not in my nature and it was most certianlly not my intention.

Exotica, Don't you feel badly about this. It's partly my fault for not coming to you directly in the first place. For that I am truly sorry. I don't know how the mix up happened, but I'm glad that it has been resolved and I am happy with the product that I have! Thank you for your quick response and for your kindess in this whole situation. It really shows your strength as a merchant and your compassion as well. Again, I'm so sorry....

I'm going to say one last thing here and then I am going to walk away. It was my mistake to let JeffH get involved in this. He clearly has no customer service skills and is not very polite to boot. The moment I contacted the vendor I received a professional and kind note and an offer to remedy the situation in any way that would be suitable for me. THAT is customer service! The staff of this site might not have the skills, but it's clear that the vendors do. :)

Just another note. I have my dates wrong on the image above. I purchased this texture YESTERDAY 11/21 and redownloaded it today 11/22 (my hands are shaking as I am so upset by the way I have been treated by Jeff). I have had contact with the vendor and they have been quite kind about the issue and it has been resolved.

Okay. Above are side by side renders from the zip I downloaded with my pirchase YESTERDAY and the zip I downloaded TODAY after being told that I was wrong in my complaint. I have made an error in the image above by not switching something out. There is now no seam between neck and head with the "new" zip. My problem here now is that when I raised a complaint I was told that I was imagining it (basically) and that it was my problem, and then somewhere behind the scenes files were swapped (the contents of the 2 zips for this texture I have contain totally different time/date stamp information). Why is it that someone didn't just apologize to me, say there had been an error with the files placed for download (or whatever) and then told me the correct files were now available? Will they tell the rest of the purchasers of this item? Now I'm not only upset that I bought something that wasn't what it apparently should have been, but I am upset about the "customer service" I received. Actually, I'm horrified by it... but that's a separate issue I suppose. So, those of you who have contacted me about this texture, be sure to go to your PURCHASES and download it again as the files seem to have changed dramatically since yesterday.

They are applied from the MATs... I'll go back and check the material settings just to be sure...

Well... since I was told that I imagined the whole thing that that it was an error on my own part I downloaded the zip for this product again. Wonder of wonders. The zip is named differently and has files with date stamps that are *very* far apart from those in the original files. And guess what! Though I may be imagining it, there is still a horrid seam at the neck...

I know.. I see dead people too!

I'm just talking about the horrible seams... and the funkieness around his nose. I'm frankly horrified that this got through testing here (it's less than a month old)... and that I paid for it. jaqui - he has stubble and that's probably what you're seeing around the mouth.

A person dissapeared from PoserPros?

How about kickerz?

You should definately look at West Coast Choppers for ideas on color schemes! Jesse James builds some seriously amazing choppers much like the one you've built... and the paint jobs on some of them are fantastic!

Flames... this bike clearly needs flames incorporated in the paint job!
