Attached Link: V2-V3 Texture Convertor Product details

Coolness!!! Got the demo, gonna' try it out. This is fabulous!!

This looks great! It also opens up more possibilities for male variation, too - you can use a V2 texture without make-up for the V3 male morphs. (Well, you can use a V2 texture with make-up for V3 Male, but it's going to look a bit ... odd.) ;-)

Can I ask the price :) Just want to be sure I'll have money in the bank to buy it :) any chance in the future you will be able to make Mike textures convert to V3?

$29.95 according to the website.

Thanks Crescent, I just saw that at the site :) I Should have looked before I posted!

pokeydots - I am currently working on that at the moment ;-)

This is exactly what I've been praying for......but I have an awful feeling it's gonna be just for Windoze.....please, please tell me I'm wrong :( :)

Sorry Patricia - WIndoze only I'm afraid... What platform are you on?

Steve!! Thank you so very very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Question, says you can take Mill girls texs and change to V3. Can you do vice versa? V3 tex to Mill girls?

Darn... I'm a Mac user (I'm guessing Patricia is as well, or could be Linux) who would love to be able to use that utility. I haven't been able to get the remap from DAZ to work on V3, and it would be terribly handy to have a program capable of doing that. Well I suppose its time for me to either find a magical PC to Mac program converter or make friends with a PC user who can convert textures for me. ;) Molly

kayjay97 - because the Millenium Girls are based on V1/2 OBJ file, conversion of Mill Girls->V3 and V3->Mill Girls is possible with this program... cheers, Steve

Wow Steve, I can hardly believe this_ the mind boggles about the clever stuff that must be going on under the bonnet of this thing to make it work without texture smearing and distortion. I presume it works purely on the textures and isn't using the DAZ V3 to V2 version of V3??I'm at work at present but when I'm back home I think you've got another customer!

noggin - as you presumed, it converts the textures, and does not use the Daz conversion in any way. There is no way that you can use the Daz conversion of V3 to put V3 textures on V2. With this little app, it is but a few clicks away :-) cheers, Steve

Hey Steve this is great news bud :) Thanks for making this and i will wait unpatient for the 31 jan. Sprinter

Yes I want this.....where will it be available, here or at your site? Sharen

Wow D_W, this is awesome! I got the demo, and it works fantastically! I'm really looking forward to this! I guess you working on Poser stuff full-time is paying off for us! LOL!

Sharen - it will be available in my Marketplace here...

It goes both ways_ cool! So all those future textures for V3 that all those wonderful texture artists out there create will be backward compatible with V2!! This effectively doubles the value of all those and past packs for non-artists and is going to make life so much easier for the artist producing the textures. For $30 that's excellent value. This is sure to become a 'must have' utility. Well done Steve! I can't wait.

ElorOnceDark - I'm actually still "in the world" until the end of Feb. But I've got some "splendid" ideas banging around in my head :-) cheer, Steve

noggin - you summed up something that I've been trying to get across for a while now... I couldn't have worded it better! :-) Quote---------------------------------------------------- So all those future textures for V3 that all those wonderful texture artists out there create will be backward compatible with V2!! --------------------------------------------------------- Steve

Steve, thank you again, I will be anxiously awaiting it's release, but you don't hurry, take your time....I can wait....also I hope an idiot like me can work it...Sharen Gotta go try out the demo

Excellent! :) Good job, see ya friday..

I'd just like to echo everyone else's reaction. SWEEEETTT!

WENT AND TRIED DEMO......A DUMMY LIKE ME CAN WORK IT....YIPPEEEEEEEEE....thanks again Steve, I will be standing in line for this...Sharen

What is the difference in the DEMO versus the Full Program? Does not say. This looks to be a wonderful program! TMG

TMGraphics - actually is does say in the readme: SNIP----------------------------------------------- The demo has all the features of the full version except for two things: - Output resolution is set to 1000x1000 and cannot be changed - The generated texture has the word DEMO printed all over it. --------------------------------------------------- cheers, Steve

Sweet app Steve, it was really cool to watch it draw....Now if I could just get someone to hold my money so I won't spend it until then...LOL...

:-) @ cwshorty waves hand in fron of cw's face ...you don't want to spend your money... "I don't want to spend my money...", cw drones in a mono-tone... :-) Steve

Steve! How soon before the Mike version is done? Any chance you'll release them together? This is something we've all wanted for a long time. Versions for converting Posette to V2 and vice versa would be interesting too. Good thing I've got a little money extra at the end of the month!

SNIP------------------------------------------------------ How soon before the Mike version is done? Any chance you'll release them together? ---------------------------------------------------------- I am still currently playing with converting between other characters. My initial tests are very encouraging, but nothing is set in stone yet. There is still a ton of development to be done before I can even start on all the other characters. No, there is no chance that I will be releasing them together. cheers, Steve

It would be nice to be able to use Stephanie textures on V2 and V3 and visa versa. :-) Downloading demo now! Thanks! -dg

Steve, I just used the demo on ZetaStudios Breathgen Kid's textures (4000X4000). It worked like a dream. This is one pretty piece of programming. Fairly nice and simple interface, fast, and it maps perfectly. And you did it in VB. Wow! Now, if it only generated the mat file.... (grin - we always want more, don't we?). Congradulations on this, I foresee a lot of profit for you with this. Daz should be letting you get the Mike 3 mesh/maps ASAP. Releaseing the Mike 2 to Mike 3 version would really increase initial sales of Mike 3 when he comes out. If this had been available the first day V3 came out, they'd have sold a lot more of her early.

Hi Steve Great program! I too am on a Mac- but I have an old version of Windows 98 rev2 running on SoftWindows. Patricia and Molly. I will download the demo and see if it works. I bought Softwindows for exactly these reasons-but I rarely use it being on a Dinosaur computer G3 233 upped to G4 533 Mhz so its fairly slow. Supposedly the more recent emulators are speedier-even on slow computers-"better coding" I hear. I was able to use the converter to use V2 textures on V3. I used UVS decoder 05- and MacConverter from the WONDERFUL MartinC which I can't find now. Do a search on Google. Eric

well it is easy and it works well. I can only use low res textures anyway so The limitaions on size wont effect me really. now I can convert all those lovely extasy textures over. :)

pdxjims: ----------------------------------------------- Now, if it only generated the mat file.... (grin - we always want more, don't we?). -------------------------------------------------------- I actually considered this, but it adds a bit of complication as to where to save the texture, and where to place the icon etc. cheers, Steve

Well it's very cool, especialy watching it work. But does it do the tounge and teeth for V2 to V3? I ask because the maps are on the body on V2 and on the head on V3 and you can only convert one map at a time? Doesn't work on the demo, will the full version do it? later jb

Dizzie: Look at the Materials dialog box in Poser, under Texture Map. Check that the Strength is at 100% for all parts of the eyes. I've had this problem with other maps.

This is a great tool nice job, now lets hope that everyone uses it for good rather then evil.

praxis22--------------------------------------------------- But does it do the tounge and teeth for V2 to V3? I ask because the maps are on the body on V2 and on the head on V3 and you can only convert one map at a time? Doesn't work on the demo, will the full version do it? ----------------------------------------------------------- As I explain in the readme file, the inner mouth, tongue and teeth are mapped very differently between V1/2 and V3. While playing with the convertor, I found I couldn't use these maps to generate a decent non stretched version for V3. I am busy developing an upgrade for this version already (will be free for buyers of this version), and will re-investigate my options with these material parts. cheers, Steve BTW Dizzie - I love the DEMO tattoos ;-)

I will definitely be picking this up, what a wonderful application. I assume the Mike to V3 version will work with Steph as well. Can't wait!

This is great! I'm already waiting for the plugins so there's no more having to use a remapped Vicki for those cool Step tex's!!! WooHoo!

I'm on a Mac, too and I'd love to use this wonderful proggie. Is there a chance to get a mac version done? Since I don't even have Virtual PC I won't be able to use it on my Mac. Please, please, tell me there will be a version for Macintosh, too. Phil

Phil - I don't even know where to start with programming on a Mac. My wife (yep - she's also a programmer!) was investigating converting it to Java (using the Java Runtime Environment), but she still hasn't got a conclusive answer. If we get anywhere on that idea, I'll let you know. cheers, Steve

Thanks Steve, glad you heard my outcry. ;) There are some Mac users around 'Rosity, so I'm quite shure there'll be a customer base for a Mac version. Have a nice day, Phil

Steve can you hurry the store up! I tried the demo and I want it now! lol

:) Hey pokeydots - only 14 hours to go ;-)
