I've been lurking here for a long, long time, and I've just now started some more difficult Poser work using the Victoria model. I'm sure I'll be posting her frequently as I move into conforming clothing, etc. My problem right now may come more from my newbie status than from Victoria! With Posette, any change to the body texture included a change to the eye color, to whatever was used on the texture map. I realize that Victoria has separate body and head textures, and I seem to have discovered that the color assigned to a part "bleeds through" the map unless it is set to white. So now I have the face and body mostly accurately reflecting the texture map that is applied. Except the eyes, or more specifically the irises. They seem to be colored only from the color patch and not from the texture. If the head texture has blue eyes, but the color patch is brown, the eyes are brown. If the color patch is white, the eyes are white, instead of blue! I checked, and the head texture has been applied to the head as a whole, so the eyes appear to be using it. Any hints? What am I missing? Thanks for any tips you can pass along!

After working with Victoria all afternoon, I don't know that I can replicate the face I have with Poser, which I really like. So I'm sticking with Posette and my problem with the eyes is moot for now... I'm sure it'll come up when I try to use Victoria for other characters, though.

Make sure the irises in the Materials menu are set to white also. What I've done is set everything in all my figures, both male and female characters, including Vickie, is set all body parts to white, including eyes, eyebrows, everything, then resave the whole figure back over the original in your library. Just resave each character under its original name and overwrite the original. Then you'll never have to fiddle with it again. You'll never want to use the default color settings anyway. I don't even know why they put those there. I hope that P5, if it materializes (or renders? :) will have all the figures preset to all white settings to begin with. Good luck. Melanie
