I purchased Mat Pose Creator and successfully added the V4 Nymph dress.  I also created texture files for this dress, but unfortunately the Mat Pose Creator does not want to use it.  I choose the browse option and select the jpg file, but it does not want to show it in the block intended for it and also, when I save the pz2 file and import it into Poser 7 it does not work at all.  Please help!  I do not know what else to try....

You can also get a lot of good information in his forums.  I don't own Mat Pose Creator but I do own QuickMat by the same author and have been a member of his forums for a while now.

Different folks there Victoria. 
Hogwarden made Quickmat and CR Pro.
Mat pose creator 4. is by  J.Hoagland. 
Theres also another freebie MAT creator called Mat Pose Edit., just to make me even more confused :)

To answer the question (which I also mentioned in an e-mail):

There are 2 possible issues:

  1. The textures need to beneath the PoserRuntimeTextures folder. If they are not, the program won't "see" the files.
  2. If the dress is appearing as white, is this due to a document window setting or is this how it appears when rendered?
    If the issue is due to a texture being outside of the RuntimeTextures folder, then yes, the MAT pose won't include the texture file and the object will be white.

Thank you very much.  I believe it is because the texture files is not in the correct folder.   I will test it again over the weekend.  Thank you all for your reply's and thank you Mr. Hoagland for your e-mail and your reply on this forum.  I was off-line for the last two days and only received everything this morning.  I will definately visit your help page to learn more.  I am still a newby on this whole Poser world of fun.

I've got the same problem, but my textures are inside the runtime:textures place and yet the bloody wings that I'm trying to texture still appear white! I'm going crazy already... so puzzleing...

Lenora - open the MAT file using Wordpad (if you use windows) look for the lines that read something like these..

*This example is of a correctly written line, *
textureMap ":Runtime:Textures:kat:Heli_06_MB.jpg" 

*This example is badly written: 
*textureMap "D:my maps :Runtime:Textures:kat:Heli_06_MB.jpg" 

Can you post one or 2 of these lines - so I can see if theres a problem with that ?

I have written them right, I already looked for errors trough the source file (using wordpad of course)

I'm so sad... I will look again...

EDITED:

I actually realised something very odd... the mat creator is NOT creating the pz2 file... it only creates the rsr file and the png... weird stuff happens to me...

EDITED AGAIN:

Sorry guys... for some weird odd reason last night the MAT Creator was not doing anything... today it is funcioning perfectly normal... I really do not know why since I changed nothing in it's configurations... as I said before, weird things happen to me...

But thanks for the attention!
