It won’t work in Daz. He has it packaged in a Poser scene file.

Does D|S4.5 have problems with Poser scenes? I’ve been able to import (not load) Poser scene files since the very first release of D|S, with no problems as long as all files are included.

Except for the usual problems with texture file paths following the “what’s a runtime folder?” standard…

TheCastillan said he “couldn’t find it”. I opened the zip, saw the scene file and just assumed that Daz wasn’t reading it.

I opened the zip, saw the scene file and just assumed that Daz wasn’t reading it.

And it won’t read any of the textures, either, not with no runtime structure and a hardcoded path of “C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\My Documents\3D\Starliner\Poser\mainhull.jpg” 

Ah well, shifted all the textures into a folder, put into Textures, fixed all the texture paths in the pz3, imported into D|S3, junked all the Poser lights and cameras, fixed all the materials and set up the windows to “glow” in the Ambient channel. Tweaked a few other things, 10-15 minute fix total. And it looks about as good as the pic upthread. A very nice little model, actually, once you know where to find all the Poser stuff that needs to be tossed so it won’t mess up a D|S scene.

Maybe it will be on that ships of the line thread if we are lucky, at some point.

like i said - just load it into POSER - DEBUT - is free - and dont need to know how to use it ( I have no clue on how to use POSER) to do this easy process

then go to file menu and select export - in the options that open up deselect everything but the ship itself

save it somewhere as an obj

then to make sure it is done correctly just either import it into DS with the x reverse and the scale set to 6000 or so

or load it into poseray and then export out again as an object and up the resolution of the textures( which is what I did)

then import that object into DS with the same options as I listed above

once in DS you can save it as a scene, etc.

oh and use the decks-g.jpgs, mainhull-g, stacks-g and one other -g jpg I forget name in the ambient channel and set ambient on those to 100%

that will give the window glows.

For D/S to load .pz3 files, I find it best to put them into the “poses” folder so D/S can “see” them.

It was free, I think it was for a day or a week ‘once upon a time’ ... Poser Debut costs about $50.

Scratch that one, then.

but yeah place the directory it is in in your libraries.poses dir or pose dir works also
