    This has been one of those days you wouldn't wish on your worse enemy. Comp techs were working on my system and removed a disc cleaning program I use alot- "Oh we're sorry it's standard practise to remove programs we don't think are very good." And because it's an older program, the company that made it no longer supports it, so I can't get a registration code for it. So I'm out one of my maintance programs.
    Then it gets better.
    I go to Sar Trek Meshes and down load the files for their work bees- one with manipulator arms and one with cargo. Unzipped them to find textutre maps- but no models.
    I come to Daz and get the travel prop pack- you know how that went.
    I try to work with Mattymanx' converison of Denis Bailey's Enterprise. It comes into the work window with the highlights on every section turned up to 100 percent. I was working on turning that down, and doing test renders to check things- and spotted holes in the nacelles and the back of the saucer.

    I think I'm going to stop while I'm behind....

    I think you'll find that there are separate files for the work bee objs and textures and you need to download both.

    I downloaded every file I saw. I guess I could have missed one. I'll go check again.

    Okay. Went back and downloaded every file except the lightwave. sone of them wouldn't open. But the others did have the models. evidently I downloaded the wrong files last time.

    The Enterprise Refit has been updated.

    The ship no longer glows in the dark in Poser when you load it up.

    As for the flipped normals, I dont see it in renders for Poser 8 since all surfaces are set to render normals forward. Same with a couple others I had look at it. Lordiffy, who first pointed it out, does see the flipped normals when rendered in PP 2012. I am not sure why some people see it when rendered and others do not.

    Also, the Klingon K'Tinga has been updated and is back online. DS4 should no longer crash when rendering. It was once again an issue with PNG files.

    Sounds like I need to download a fresh file then. I got this one when you first posted it.

    When in doubt, check the list since I am keeping track of when the model are updated so if you have any future issues you can check and see if the ship was updated.

    Yeah, I have no idea why some versions of Poser do this with some of Matty's awesome conversions. I tried the Ent-A out on both Poser 8, and Poser Pro 2012 SR3 (making sure all normals were forward) , and still have the same issues as shown by Mdbruffy.

    Personally I'm thinking it could be due to the source mesh/texture settings, and not the conversion, as some of Matty's other conversions (especially all the newer ones) work perfectly, whilst others have the missing segments issue.

    However, they all work perfectly in Daz.

    *Update*

    Upon looking at Ent-A and other models that have this issue, the missing pieces do fit with the mesh lines, when viewed in flat or smooth lined view. So, I am guessing some texturing issue on the original mesh, or some other hiccup that seems to irk certain versions of Poser.
    As Daz doesn't seem to have an issue, I'm leaning towards Poser getting befuddled by it.

    I have this same issue with models (mostly lwo) converted in Poseray. The models will display the same issues, and sometimes have even larger chunks of texture missing that Poser will not allow the materials room to rectify.

    Has anyone found or made an interior set for the Delta Flyer?

  • MattymanxMattymanx Posts: 6,879
    edited December 1969

    I have not seen an interior for the Delta Flyer as of yet. I have also not seen any decent reference images for it either!


    For the record, I will not be coverting or attempting to convert any COB files. Thankfully this means only 3 ships are lost in total.

    Okay, new file. The holes are there- pre-render. But since they don't show up post-render, I'm not going to worry about it anymore.
    New question: How do I give her the same metalic look she had in TMP?

    I don't suppose anyone who knows what their doing would be willing to convert it for DAZStudio/Poser?:-)

    Just playing with "Birdy's" Universal Eams chair to make a somewhat reasonable shuttle-craft seat.

    Bit late, but could you tell me where you found this chair?
