I'm brand new to Vue 4 and I've downloaded some freebies. In poser, the downloads tell you where to copy the props, textures, etc. So far, none of the Vue downloads tell you where to put anything (I know this is a loaded question!). Can someone give me a quick breakdown of where to copy the separate parts of a download? Do the textures go in the same file as the object? Sorry to be so dumb but I bought the download version with no book or instructions. Can anyone recommend a good beginners tutorial? I have searched Amazon, etc. for a book, but apparently there isn't one.

Apparently there is no book. But you can look into our Backroom (link above in the header) and there in the tutorial section. Or on e-ons site or to www.guitta.net - a lot of excellent tutorials for beginners. Regarding your question. The days of Vue 4 are long over for me, so i dont know how Vue 4 actually does the structure. Originally Vue provided you with a structure in the application folder. With folders like "Materials", "Objects", "Atmospheres" etc etc. You can use this structure for yourself too. Put folders in there and into that put your stuff. Only with bitmaps (textures) i would be a little more careful. Best for me is to put them directly into the same folder as the material/object, not into the folder "bitmaps". And ESPECIALLY dont put them into subfolders there, Vue will not find them anymore otherwise. From Vue 5 on, maybe now with Vue 4 too - check that out, e-on provided folders in "my documents" with already the structure as in the application folder. Reason for that was the danger that you lose all your stuff when you uninstall the application and all your collections are in the application folder. Makes sense to me. However. Wherever you save the stuff - you can do your own structure (as i do it) as well, you then have to make the collection (folder with the collected stuff) available in Vue. For that you have a little icon in the load window (load material, load object, load scene...) shaped as a little document. Explanation says "new collection". Click onto that and brows to the new collection folder you want to add. Select it and give it the name you want it to. Thats it.
