Hello: I cant believe i never missed this site after weeks of looking for a good place to talk about poser and other 3d programs. Well im new to 3d and there are a few things with poser that i just got that i wanted to know if i can get some help with. I bought poser 4, the pro pack, Voluptuous Vicki, and Daz's Vicki 2 from a friend of mine who sad to say cant use them anymore. Now I added both Voluptuous Vicki and Daz's Vicki 2 to my computer but when i go to select Voluptuous Vicki she all one color. Is there something i didnt do. How do i know what version of Voluptuous Vicki i have? Thanks for your time

I don't have VV, but it sounds like you need to apply a texture to her. You can go to Render: Render Materials and apply the skin texture you want to use.

How do you mean, when you go to select Voluptuous Vicki, she's all one colour? Is she all white? I don't have Voluptuous Vicki, so I can't say much about her. If there are no colours specified for the skin of a figure, Poser assigns random colours. But many vendors will purposefully set the colours of their figures to all white. This is because when you apply a texture map to a figure whose skin is coloured, the colour of the skin shows through the texture map. Say you wanted to apply a very pale texture map to Vicki 2. If you applied the map over the figure as she appears when you load her up, the darker colour of her skin would show through when you rendered the picture. In order for the texture map colours to show true, you need to set the figure's colour to white. Likewise, if you want to make a darker figure without changing the texture map, you can apply a darker colour to the skin in Poser, and apply the texture map over it. This works more or less well depending on the map and the final result you want to achieve. Okay, I'll be quiet now... hope that helps!
