Are the textures where poser is looking for them? If you moved them into a different folder then you need to change it to the correct path of where the textures are.

Make a copy of the MAT file, change those lines, and see if that works. (Or you could use the original, and just reinstall if you need to.)

If you don't want to do that, contact DAZ tech support. There may be something wrong with this product. Most of us bought the David Bundle, which came with standard-res textures. If there's a problem with the high-res textures, it's possible no one noticed until now.

the poser gods are playing with me. restarted pc to free my ram up, load up poser and david works fine!

If you're using Poser 6, make sure you have SR1 applied. The original version of P6 had some memory issues, which resulted in vanishing textures. SR1 fixed that.

Poser 6 SR1 can sometimes store texture paths incorrectly. In your saved file, look for anything with a mixture of Mac and PC path seperators like :Runtime/Path/To:Texture.jpg and change it to :Runtime:Path:To:Texture.jpg This bug mainly affects image maps loaded via Python, but I wouldn't be surprised if it were popping up elsewhere.
