Here is an old p6ce garbage truck I'm trying to put in a scene. I can't change the body to a normal texture. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Turn on Normals_forward in the advanced materials. Depending on how the shader is built, might be more than one place.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)

Ot, but Bagginsbill... would you suggest normals forward for transmapped hair?

Hmm - depends on the shader and maybe on which version of Poser. If you're using translucence maybe not. I honestly can't remember all the variations any more.

Ok, thanks for the reply. The only reason I ask is because of the fix for rendering certain one sided transmapped plant models. I've noticed some weirdness similar to the above occassionally when rendering older hair models with idl (with texture filtering disabled, no translucence, fall off 0). I'll have to test out normals forward and see the results. Thanks

Is the model all in tris? Probably a straight export from 3DSMax, triangularized. If forcing "normals forward" in material settings doesn't work, try minimizing or disabling ray-tracing. Also, disable displacement during testing, in case of double-sided polys or split vertices.

Thanks, all!
