I finally got Poser 7 out again and managed to get it to render a little faster (followed suggestions in former post) but now it's rendering the wrong textures!

I don't understand how this could happen since I make sure each texture has a unique name.  For example, if I have a picture behind my model and a mirror at the opposite end, Poser will render the texture image for the picture on the mirror.

Has anyone else had this happen to them?

Poser 7 is so bizarre.

I am not sure I am explaining this correctly. Someone must have experienced this before. When viewing the preview the texture is correct and the one that is assigned to the prop. However, when rendering the texture Poser will change the assigned texture image to another texture being used in the scene even though the texture's name is correct in the material editor.

Everything looks fine in the material editor as well as in the preview.

The only way to correct the problem is to change the prop's material name by using the group editor and renaming the texture to something else.

YES.  I experienced this exact problem myself with Poser 7 SR1.

My hongyu's Revolver texture is rendered on my richarbri's CC cigarette.

Grrrr !!!  I cannot explain it either.  So, I used Mayadolls cigarette for my scene instead, without any prejudice to richarbri's cigarette.

Something is wrong, and it is repeatable !!.

I contacted e-frontier about this and they believe this rendering problem is caused by a corrupt preference file and deleting it should solve the problem.

I don't know if we are the only two that experience this but if it is reported enough maybe they will release a patch for this.

I've had this problem before.

Last weekend my HDD had a kernel error.  When I installed a new drive, and reinstalled Poser6, I tried to open a few of the files I've been working on for weeks; but at first I got that PRedator Cloaking thing again, and then my V3 figure had her Head textures mapped to her body, in several places!

After a day, of pulling my runtime apart, I realized I did'nt install my Poser 6 Service Release(3.)  After I did the problem went away immediately!

I hav'nt experienced that problem in P7, and I'd hoped I would'nt, but....

I had this happen to me yesterday, and I had only one object and one texture map. I couldn't figure out why it was rendering with some weird texture, as it looked fine in the preview. A couple times the object went missing completely in the render (rendered nothing but the background color). Just tried again today after a reboot -- first try got the blank render, second time rendered correctly. Something definitely flakey going on.

Yes there is something not quite right with Poser 7 on this issue . I had someone email me last night saying they had the same problem but thought it was something they had done incorrectly. It was only when they stumbled upon this thread that they realized there was a problem.

Imteresting!  My first time browsing the forums here and I  stumble aross this post. I too have experienced P7 texturing render mixup. In my case I was doing a render that had an imported background image. Instead of the background image I imported, The figure's texture map was being rendered as a background. 
I was thinking it was one of Poser's notorious resource hogging issues since it happened after I had been working on a fairly complex scene with quite a few figures and props in it. Shutting down Poser and reopening it, the scene rendered correctly.
