I'm using Poser5 with update I'm adding texture to this but the only way it shows up is when i render it. I must say that when i started the Highlight size (in materials room) was set at 100.00000. I changed it to 1.00000 but did not solve the problem. How do i get the textures to "stick" so I don't have to render just to see what it looks like? The picture on the left is what i see when adding the textures and the picture on the left is rendered. I know I'm doing something wrong but I dont know what. Thanks in advance raptordude

Change your document display style to "texture shaded." (Ctrl+9) Keep in mind that showing the textures may slow down your computer. That's why the default is not to show them.

Also note that "Texture Shaded" only gives you a crude impression of how the textures look. To get a true picture of the textured model, including light settings etc, you need to render. There is no way around that.

Thanks for the come-back but........ I do have the display set for texture shaded. If I turn off all lights then it looks much better.... this just looks over lighted or washed out some how. I have not had this trouble with any other model.... just this one. Like I said in the first post....When I started with this one the Highlight size was set to 100.0000.....dont know why.....I set them all down to 1.00000 and that helped somewhat. Thanks for the help raptordude

What i can see on your screenshot is that the ambient color is set to white, this makes the model glow or light up try setting it to black. If the ambience is part of the texture effects you want then you gotta live with it :)

Yes, try making the ambient color black. Also, your highlight size is pretty big. Try 0.1 instead of 1.0.

Thank you.....Thank you....Dash and randym77 that fixed it. Once again a simple fix for my "major" problem hehehehe Thanks again for the help raptordude
