I 'm working on a G4 Mac powerbook using Poser Pro, bought and installed Cyber Vic (PC/Mac) from Darkworld a couple of weeks ago but when I go to use her on either Steph or Vic 2 the figures and props ,though they show as listed figures in the main window, remain invisible ! Only a MAT pose loads on a figure properly. I have checked in the libraries, all is in its proper place, I've run the files through Mac Converter, installed them twice but no-go. Any ideas? I've got other figures from Darkworld and they work just fine. A 'please help' e-mail to Darkworld wasn't responded to, PLEASE can someone else help ?

Two things that may be obvious, but, hey, ya never know... :) Go into the hierarchy window and make sure the props themselves are turned on for viewing. Render an image without the MATs. Maybe there's a transparency at work here that makes them invisible in draft mode?

Thanks for trying to help but that doesn't seem to be it. I checked the heirarchy window and the 2 cyber figures I tried adding to vicky today, ie her cyber boots and cyber suit ,are turned on there but still invisible either in preview or a test render. I tried a couple of props as well but still nothing. Its still only a separate MAT pose that turns her whole nude body into a metal texture that works. It is independant of all the other figures and props that came with the set. Anyone else got an idea ? Might it be a Mac/pc compatibility issue even though the cyber set is sold as Mac compatible ? I just cant understand why one part of it does work, I would think nothing would if it is a platform compatibility thing. ( Big sigh, off to do something not on a computer )
