This might be a total newbie thing, but I would appreciate any help anyone could give: Given my complete frustration with Poser's renderer, I figured I would try to export some of my "problem" scenes into another 3D application, as I've heard many others have done. I exported the PZ3 as an OBJ and got a program to extract the textures to the same directory as the OBJ and the MTL. The problem is, if I open the scene up in either DAZ Studio or Shade, the whole scene just comes through white - no textures or anything. Am I totally missing something? I really don't want to have to manually re-texture everything in another program - I'm about to jump off a cliff as it is. Basically, I'm just looking for an easy way to render some scenes that Poser 6 itself can't seem to do without crashing on me. I'm still pretty new with the 3D stuff - Poser is my first and thus far only program of this type that I've used much (and it's just a hobby). DAZ Studio is free, but I've found it to be kind of buggy (it's still beta after all) and it doesn't support some Poser magnets. I ended up with a copy of Shade 7 when I bought Poser 6, and it seems to have good compatiblity, but I HATE it - it's not the most user friendly program (Side rant: CL - how about a REAL manual and help files for once instead of just PDFs?!) Is Bryce a better option? Is there an easier way? Someone please talk me off the edge!
