These two textures are preset for an entirely different file path than my system. How can I change them to work in mine? Frank Funk has geared them for c:program files Metacreationsposer 4... My setup is totally different. What do I need to do? Thanks

Just manually move the files to the correct directories. Frank has an old installation from when Poser was owned by MetaCreations (gone the way of the dodo). The lower file structure is the same, but the C:MetatcreationsPoser 4 should be either C:Program FilesCurious LabsPoser 4 or C:Program FilesCurious LabsPoser 5. This kind of manual setup is something you'd better get used to. A lot of freestuff and older marketplace items don't include the basic file structure as part of the zip. You'll really like the textures. Frank's Bishop and the Shaman texture (available in freestuff here too) are the best free textures I've seen for Mike. Frank is going to release the Theo texture here in the MP sometime in the next week or so. It's amazing!

I've been doing a lot of manual placement with Poser files recently. I had a crash and needed to reinstall and redo almost everything I had. If the.pz2 file is pointing to a different setup, don't I have to correct the path in the file before I can put anything in? My setup is "G:program filesgraphics3DPoser...". What exactly needs correcting? Thanks...

Aha! The problem is that in the .pz3 file itself it has a direct reference to the locations of the textures, rather than relative locations. Open the .pz3 file (there's 2 for Bishop) in a text editor. I like MS Word, but just about anything will do. Replace all C:Program FilesMetaCreationsPoser 4Runtime with G:program filesgraphics3DPoserRuntime Save. This will correct the references in the pz3 file and point them to your correct directories. Hope this solves your problem. If not, IM me and I'll get in contact with you and walk you through it. Jim
