I was looking in the freebie area and saw a texture collection for V3, I have put it in the area the read me told me (runtime, textures, Raychel) but I do not know how to apply them now to v3? Can someone point me in the right direction?

Were there other files other than the .jpg texture files? If there were pz2 files do the following: Open Poser and load Vicky. Go to the Pose library and find the texture there. If there was only the .jpg texture files, after you load Vicky, go to the material room, select the figure "Vicky" or "Figure 1", and to the right use the drop down area and pick the first material zone of the figure. Then right click in the window, pick "new node", 2D Image, and "Image Map". Then browse to the .jpg texture file, click ok. Do that for all of the material zones in that drop down area. Apparently there is a way to apply the texture to all areas at once, but while I've seen the instructions posted, I can't remember how to do it so I just do it one by one.

The first and the 3rd. Sorry, I don't have poser open and I don't remember the names of those 2.

one last question... the jpg for the eye looks like an eyeball, which material node would that be? I see iris, cornia, socket, etc

I believe you apply that to the eye related material zones. I don't apply skin textures in the material room usually. All the ones I download seem to have Mat Pose files to apply from the library pose folder.

The material nodes for the eye textures are Liris and Riris and Leyewhite and Reyewhite. You can attach the maps to the pupils as well, but if the texture pupils are just black then there is no point.
