I recently moved my Poser and Vue6i folders to a new hard drive but now when I try to load some of my saved vobs, ones that weren't saved with the 'include textures' option, it's looking for the old drive for the textures.
 Is there any way of automating the moved ones to look in the new folders?

Thanks...

CR Pro II, available here.  I use it a lot for correcting references in my Poser files.

Remember, sometimes the dragon wins. Correction: MOST times.

 If Vue can't find a texture it will try to find it in it's own library. So, if you ad a link to the Poser TEXTURES folder from the Vue library it will find and suggest a replacement for the original file. Which has been very accurate until now......

DO NOT COPY the folder but LINK to it from the bitmap pallette and the preferences Operations tab.

Victoria_Lee: I've used that program and CorrectReference to do just that for poser type files but the Vue vob files are very different.

AVANZ: I don't quite get what you mean. Could you explain a little more?

Try this:

Load a sphere, open the material editor and click "Mapped picture" at the first tab. Click the little arrow underneath the picture preview window to go to the bitmap library of Vue.

On the bottom you see an icon of a paper with a folded corner, click that and point to your Poser Textures folder. Click OK. You have now created a link from within the Vue library to your Poser Textures folder.

Next time Vue can not find a texture it will first go through it's library of bitmaps to try to find it, and subsequently will find it in the Poser Textures folder. It then prompts if you want to replace the unfound bitmap with the one found, which is of course the same as the original. Say yes to all, sit back, and let Vue do the rest!!!!

It is very accurately because I think it uses the whole path instead of just the name of the file.

As an alternative you can point to the Poser Textures folder from within the preferences settings, but I like it this way so I can easily try different textures, without going back to Poser.

Cheers!

That worked!! This is one of those "Why didn't I think of that" things 8-}

Thanks for the help...
