I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post this. But I just bought Kimshara and Kimshara pack 1 at the Marketplace a few days ago. When I load the texture in Poser 4 the default view shows her with a pitch black face, and yet her eye textures are in tact, the body texture loads fine. BUT, when I render her she looks ok. But it's impossible to work on a morph if the texture doesn't look right in the preview. And it loads really slow. Then the program goes nuts sometimes and I lose my mouse pointer. However when I load other hi-res textures like ones from Morris, where they are 4000 x 4000 or so...those textures work just fine. When I load the texture on the figure in Poser 5 it looks fine and no problems.

Does anyone else have this problem or know what it is? I'm exhasperated with it. I've tried messing with the Materials and everything... Attached is what it looks like in preview mode in Poser 4.

Thanks in advance!

God Bless!

in the material editor, check to see if the object color for the skinhead is set to pure black as well as skinscalp, i've noticed some things like this with stuff that was made in poser 5 and then used in poser 4. just a thought :) p5 materials are stored way different.

Thanks for the suggestion and the reply! :) I looked at the Material settings... The object color is white, highlight and ambient color is black, and reflective color is white. ~RnRWoman~

the only other suggestion that i have is check to see if the bump map or transparency map have the same name as the texture map, i've also seen where poser 4 will load the wrong item sometimes when they both have the same name (even if there in a differnet path). if thats not it you might try contacting the merchant directly and tell them about the issue, perhaps they can help resolve the problem, if you go to the product page you'll see the merchant name there, just click it and send them a IM or Email from there home page :) hope this helps, and hope you find a solution to the problem, from the looks of it it would be most anoying trying to setup morphs for the face :S
