A couple of quick updates on the subject of 64-bit platform support for SkinVue.

1. For current SkinVue 6 PC users, you can download a multi-platform wxPython installer here in order to install either the 32-bit or 64-bit version of wxPython into your main Vue application folder:

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?zzitjgoormh

This will allow you to run SkinVue6 on 64-bit PC platforms.

1. For the upcoming SkinVue7, 64-bit support is already built in to the product so there is no need to download the additional wxPython library

Fantastic!  I am sooo happy to have skinvue again. Thank you!

works on the new M4 no problem, too. 

Wow, Dave, you are going to make new friends today!

It works provided you don't use the M4 Genitals object.  There is a new SkinVue6.3DAZ Plugin update I just uploaded to C3D.  Give Christie a couple of days and then re-download the plugin so that SV6 works completely on M4.

I reckon you might be having a few sales of SkinVue now - us 32bit users have been saying how great it is for ages and causing much wailing and gnashing of teeth among 64 bit users

Great news!  I still don't have a 64 bit machine - but will some day...  I do at least have M4.  Looking forward to the update!!

Great news :woot: Thank you!!!!!

This make my Day :thumbupboth:

Copy past of the readme:

*wxPython for Vue

Built by Dave Burdick and Ben Leveau
October, 2008

wxVersion: 2.8.6.1
PythonVersion: 2.4
Platforms: Win32 and Win64

Installation Instructions:

Run the wxPythonPC_2.8.exe file which will install either the Win32 or Win64 version of wxPython automatically.
Make sure you chose the correct install directory which should be the root Vue application folder.

For example:

PC: C:/Program Files/e-on Software/Vue 7 Infinite

The contents will copy and/or overwrite into the Python folder

Installation Contents:

Python/PythonLib/wx - the main wxPython folder
Python/PythonLib/wxPython - a wxPython support folder
Python/PythonLib/ElementTree.py - a script used for xml processing
Python/Scripts/wxExample.py - a sample script which demonstrates the usage of wxPython in Vue

Using the Sample Script program wxExample.py

1. After you have installed this package, fire up Vue
2. Load the script wxExample.py  Automation -->Run Python Script
3. The sample script can be found in the Python/Scripts folder
4. The sample script is well commented and explains how to construct a wxPython GUI interface

For more information about programming with wxPython, visit http://www.wxpython.org/

YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

you are a miracle worker, Dave!!!

now... i just have to get infinite, then i can have skinvue... oooooo yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bouncies all around, excited

Thanks Dave for posting this. It is much appreciated by us all.

I suspect that the VueTools toolbar will now work on 64-bit PC's. Hurray!

Doesn't work for me it does nothing.  I have SkinVue, I have the Daz plugin and a 64-bit OS and installed this per the instruction, fire up Vue 6 infinite  go to run the scripts and they do absolutely nothing.

Open up the Vue Python console and try re-running the SkinVue app.  Let me know what the error message is.  I suspect it's because you did not install wxPython correctly or installed it into the wrong place.  You can test if wxPython is working correctly by opening up the VuePython console and typing in:

import wx

if it comes back without an error message, then wxPython is installed correctly

I think I may know what the problem is. For some reason I do not have a E-on software folder in either of my C: Program Files (x86) or C: Program Files. Another words instead if having a normal pathway like  C:/ Programs Files/e-on Software/Vue 6 Infinite where everything is installed to instead all the contents of the e-on Software/Vue 6 Infinite folder has just been dumped straight into the C:/ Program Files. I don't understand this because when I installed Vue it asked me for a location to install to but no e-on Software folders were created.

So, if this is the case then SkinVue, the plugins and the new wxPythong are not in the right place.

See second screen shot

I had the same problem. Typing import wx in the console did an error.

I installed all the python files in a separate directory, then cut and pasted them manually in the Vue 6 directory.

Works normally now.

Yes, this is very weird and would explain why wxPython isn't working - because it's not located in the right place.  If you put the wx and wxPython folders into the Vue/Python/PythonLib path then it should work.  It is bizzare however that your Vue application installed in such an unusual way.  Perhaps this is a Vista quirk.

Yes, it is probably a Vista quirk.

On my Vista 64 (French version), I have two different folders for program files.

One is : C: Program Files (x86), the other is named C:Programmes (in French), but it is only a display name. Its real name is C:Program Files.

When installing SkinVue and the Python scripts, it always seemed to end up in the wrong place: It created a C:/ Program Files (x86)/e-on Software/Vue 6 Infinite folder instead of installing it in the C:/ Programmes/e-on Software/Vue 6 Infinite one.

Installing it outside of any C:Program files folder and then relocating it manually worked for me.

 

Thanks Dave, this is very good news!
I installed it and it worked perfectly.

Hmm, perhaps my installer program is not working correctly on Vista.  It is supposed to prompt you for a location to install the wxPython files.  The default location is wherever your $ProgramFiles/E-ons Software folder is.  Perhaps it's not picking this up on Vista.  At least it is installing the correct platform of wx (either 32-bit or 64-bit).

It is supposed to prompt you for a location to install the wxPython files.  The default location is wherever your $ProgramFiles/E-ons Software folder is.  Perhaps it's not picking this up on Vista.

The WXPython installer did not get the right folder. It proposed *C:Program Files/*e-on Software/Vue 7 Infinite. And when I changed this manually, I was not sure it installed it in the right place.

But is works OK now, including on Michael 4. I took advantage of the update to make a test and a post on my website. 

One question: when importing a character with hair as a separate object, I assume I have to choose only the character body, not the group, before swapping materials?
Also, I get a small error message when I choose a character on which materials have already been swapped, but it is not really a problem.

Indeed, the installer proposed a wrong location (same as Offrench mentioned), which I found particularly strange because it mentions Vue 7 (which of course I don't have LOL). But once I corrected it, browsing to the correct location, it worked fine. Anyway, the installer for SkinVue 6.3 itself also doesn't point to the right location, in my case.

I have Vista Home Premium 64b.

Quote - "when importing a character with hair as a separate object, I assume I have to choose only the character body, not the group, before swapping materials?"

I chose the entire object, hair, clothes, everything, and it works fine.

She's working now Dave Yahooo! Thanks!!

Wonderful news David!
Especially since I'm switching over to XP Pro 64.

SkinVue didn't work with Vue7 Infinite. I get this error:

Hi Mazak,

What the error message is saying is that the wxPython libraries are not being recognized.  I need to add an update for SkinVue 6 that will do this since e-on changed the way paths work in Vue7 Python.  I should have an update for this today or tomorrow.  However, SkinVue 7 completely corrects this along with adding a bunch of new features.

Thank you for your fast support!!!! I can't wait to get SkinVue 7 in my hands :D :thumbupboth:

Mazak

For anyone that's interested, listed below is a link to a zip file containing a patch to allow SkinVue6 to run on Vue7.  Please note, there are some issues which will not work properly in Vue7 when running SkinVue6:

Known Issues:

• The atmosphere files will produce very oversaturated lighting
• The scene file atmospheres will produce very overstaturated lighting

http://www.skinvue.net/downloads/SkinVue6_Vue7_Patch.zip

SkinVue 7 will be available shortly which has been optimized to run in Vue 7. To learn more about the features of SkinVue7, please visit http://www.SkinVue.net

It did not work :(

Mazak,

Are you using a 64-bit platform??  If so, you need to download the new wxPython libs from the top of this thread.  I see that you downloaded them from above.  So do the following:

1. Remove the old wxPython folders - wx and wxPython from /Python/PythonLib
2. Copy over your 64-bit libs from your SkinVue6 that you downloaded from above

Oh...Vue 7 has the new 64 bit python not by default? My mistake! Thank you.

Mazak

I copied the files over and it works!! :woot:

Mazak

Quote - Oh...Vue 7 has the new 64 bit python not by default? My mistake! Thank you.

Mazak

Yes, There is no wxPython that ships with Vue 7.  SkinVue7 automatically installs the right version (32-bit or 64-bit) on installation. 

Yay. I've been maintaining seperate 32 and 64 installs of Vue just so I could use SkinVue, that's some serious complexity I don't have to put up with any more, thanks!
