Hello,

 

I have been using the Unimesh Realism Kit by faceoff for quite some time and now that I have upgraded from Poser 7 to Poser 8 it no longer works. Is anyone aware of where an updated verion of this script may be found? Or can someone suggest a suitable replacement? The simpler the better as I am not that knowledgeable when it comes to shader nodes.

 

Thanks for any replies.

edit the abbreyiated col references to column in a text editor the newer python ver doesn't recognize "col"

So is that TTFN or TANSTAAFL?

Hi JimTS,

I have tried to open the .pyc file in Word and Notepad but they can't read it properly. Is there a Python editor that is free?

Not the pyc file, the py file. Pyc is the compiled binary.

Here is a copy of the error message that I am getting:

Thanks bagginsbill.

I have looked at the file and it does not appear to have col in place of column. That particular letter comination does not appear in the file.

So set up your scene in Poser 8 you like then open in Poser 7 to run Realism Kit and save now it's a textured figure and you can render in 8 since the change between ver 7 and 8 (that we're dealing with here) is in the python version

Hi JimTS,

That is what I have been doing but I was hoping to be able to delete Poser 7. I guess if I have to keep it it is not that big of a deal.

Thanks.

Use Notepad++. It's a free program and preserves the lines. It also has a find/change feature. A must-have even if you don't edit code ;o).

The key things in that error message are that we're talking about the "V4 Skin Realism Kit" sold at DAZ, and that you most likely are either trying to run it from the wrong Runtime, or copied only some of the files to your P8 Runtime, rather than reinstalling (the "pzrXml10_24" module is one for making Poser's XML dialog descripitions easier to use). So the best thing to try is reinstalling in your P8 Runtime.

Unfortunately, links to his faq & problems forum are apparently down and no alternates are available.  I would recommend direct contact with FaceOff for your solution.  Email below:

nruddock,

Thanks for your suggestion. I thought that I had copied all of the files over manually but I must have missed something. I ran the installer this time and it now works.

If there is an update, you should be able to reset the download and get the newer version...

The V4 edition hasn't been updated and it doesn't need one. The problem was a completely different one to that which occurs with older editions.
