Hello all,

I just released a freebie, the sci fi transparent computer screen.

I released it as a Poser 7 prop and it uses the Poser material room settings.
Now I was wondering, can this prop be used in Daz Studio??
I dont know if D|S uses the same material setting as Poser or can read Poser prop files.

For those who want to try, you can download the screen ** here**.

Thanks for any replays.

Very cool, thanks.  Sharen

I don't use D/S, but perhaps it's better to asks this in the D/S forums, since you may get a lot more D/S users there to test it.

Das Studio , it ees a free download, so you could try it and see..;)

I use both Poser and Studio and I can get a lot of Poser materials to work in Studio, but I have to tweak the settings manually.  Or just use Studio-friendly shaders on some stuff.

Just a couple of issues:

There is a missing file: GlassEnvironmentMap.png

I had to locate the screen textures. They are hard coded to "program files/e frontier/runtime..."
(That would probably effect others versions of Poser too!)

To get the 'glass' screen to show it needed a non-zero opacity (around 10%)

OK, so thats three issues :biggrin:

Das Studio , it ees a free download, so you could try it and see..;)

Been there, done that, tried it, didn't care for it ;-)

Thanks for the replay's. :biggrin:

I will look into the issues you mention and see if I can figure them out to get it working properly.

b.t.w it looks good in D|S.

Quote - There is a missing file: GlassEnvironmentMap.png

This is a file that comes with Poser and is used by some of the materials as a reflection map.
D|S users will need to substitute another map if they don't have Poser.

I didn't mean ya had to like it...it's just if you want to test creations in that environment, there's nothing holding you back from having it to experiment with...;)

I have it too, and keep updating it, and never using it...but you never know, someday I may need it for something...;)

I wonder if you wanted to make a different version for Daz, you could just create a folder where Daz is looking for it, and put a copy of the file there as well. Then zip to taste (or rar, or 7zip, or whatever...;)

Just a thought.

Pakled, getting D|S for testing is a good idea.
Unfortunaly I dont have the needed space at the moment to install, but I will do it when I made some space.

For the missing map for non Poser 7 users, I see if I can get a better glass shader without using that map or make a own map and include it in the package.
This also should work better for D|S users.

Or I include a diferent file in the package for D|S users.

About the hard coding of the textures.
I have to look into it how I can change that.
From the top of my head, I can change that in the file myself, but I have to search around the forum about the "how to".

Curently I dont have much time becouse of work, but as soon as I have done the changes I update the download and give a heads up in this thread.

Thanks all for the input, this is great stuff to know for future freebies.
