I was originally using Poser 7, and then I got a full version of Pro12.  My problem is with only two things.  First Fabiana's DejaVU hair...when I go to put it into Pro it loads the meshy looking hair, gripes about not finding something, I cancel it and apply everything and it renders as normal, but in preview it's just the meshy look.  No biggie.  My other problem is with RDNAs TerraDome.  The original sky mats work just fine.  No problems, but in either poser 7 or Pro, no matter where I put them, the expansion for Fantasia Domes...it just can't find the files.  I've had the creator try everything possible, but even they had no idea why it doesn't work and it didn't work in 7 or 12 in poser's runtime or even my own.  This is what it does:

When I try to use any of the expansion skies it says please locate "file name.mt5".  Now in the past I just went in and found the .PNG and it worked just fine.  However, after the second fix for poser pro 2012 all it does it load I think the lights and won't render the pictures on the sky dome.  I have no ".mt5" file and I've installed and reinstalled it several times.  I don't even know what that file extension is.  

I have poser content and the .PNG in the folder where the items are installed.  If I choose the poser content now it crashes Poser. If I choose the picture it doesn't do anything.  Any help?  Any ideas?  This really annoys me to no end.  It's one thing if you can cancel and move on and get the render, but I can't even do that so far.

I also just tried this material file in the material room and it applied the picture of my expansion sky.  Is mt5 a "material" file name?

The sky domes are supposed to be "one click" it puts in the lights and the mat files on there at once.  Do you think maybe it's not finding the mat files and can't auto apply them?

Anyone else have any problems with this product or have any ideas what I can do?  I'm out of ideas..I put files where they are supposed to go and that is my extent of knowledge.  LOL.

Thank you!
