I am sure that there are more of you out there that can explain what I'm about to describe in better terms than I. I've been having tons of problems importing poser files into Vue. They don't ever seem to work, and the vast majority of them seem to come in with the mesh intact, but the textures either missing or distorted. Here's what I've discovered. Poser doesn't like to include the correct macintosh file naming scheme inside the .pz3 file. As a result, when used in my rather unique situation the .pz3 files didn't right when imported into poser. My situation was that I had mounted the hard drive that had both poser and the .pz3 files on my main machine. My main machine is my OSX box, and my secondary machine is where I keep all my OS 9 stuff. So I was bringing in the .pz3's and Vue looked to the Poser app across the network. Bad idea. Installing poser onto the OS X box and running it under classic means that everything works just peachy fine. I can import at will, textures come across as expected. Where poser fails its now usually something like fake reflections in poser with a reflection map instead of the true reflections in Poser. Minor things like that, and things that are not unual. So thanks to everyone who's been helping me out. Now that I've got it all working, I'm a happy camper again!
