Hi all, I have a wonderful Michael 2 texture set that I want to use with Michael 3. Can anyone convert this for me?

You could buy UTC (Universal Texture Converter) and the M3 plugin at DAZ.

I know, but I only have the 1 texture and that is it. I owulf feel stupid buying the two needed plugins for just a one-time use.

I have the program, but the plugins required are going to run 30 or so dollars. I was just hoping to get around that. I paid for the tesxture by magnet and maybe I should see if he could convert it before I do anything else. TNX!

Which texture is it? For anyone to legally convert it, that person must own both the texture and of course UTC. I have UTC and if I have the texture I'll be happy to help you.

You just can't put the words "Poserites" and "happy" in the same sentence - didn't you know that? LaurieA

Yes, the legal issues would be a pain. There's no way to RTEncode a texture, so far as I know. So you'd have to find someone who owned UTC and plugins, and the texture you want to convert. Then you'd have to prove that you owned the texture, or whoever converted it couldn't give it to you. Not sure how that would be done. Perhaps a PM from magnet?

Actually I own the Michael Texture, and you can contact the creator of it as well. You can get a hold of Magnet through the Renderosity marketplace. The texture is his Avery 2 Texture Set. He and I had an exchange some years ago. I talked with him yesterday and he is no longer in the character creation business. Now, he is doing avatars.

RTEncoder can encode anything, a .obj, a texture, you just have to select All Files in the drop down menu. That way you can use the original texture as the seed. Select the converted texture as the file to encode, select 'All files' from the drop down menu when selecting the key, and use the original texture. Job done :)

Well, maybe someone who owns Avery and the UTC and plugins can convert the textures, RTEncode them, and post them somewhere as a free add-on for the product. Dunno if it's necessary to ask Magnet's permission, but it would probably be the polite thing to do. I don't think he'd have any reason to object; it might generate some new sales for him.
