Hi, the model came into poser without any textures using the D3d importer which is usually quickest and easiest for me. I thought it would be an easy matter to retexture it as there are not that many textures in the set. however i found that I can' tget the coloured seats like in the promo with different colours as there is only one material zone. and when i apply one of the picture materials it changes all the pictures all at once. this has made things very hard for me. it would have been good otherwise.

so i just tried to open it in DS by dragging it into the UI window as it isn't coming up in the search and I do have a lot of content. but although it loads, I get this message that "some assets needt to load the file were missing. the content may not work as expected":-

there is only one material zone for the chair cushion and the rails etc. so i cannot retexture the chairs manually.
I do not have it to test but those are the iray shaders that come with the starter essentials and are procedurals so would not work in Poser anyway, can you use the grouping tool to create zones? The UV mapping should remain the same if the chair has atlased UV's using the same map but if its like Carrara with duf content the U co-ordinate is ticked for wrapping and has to be unchecked and I am unsure how one would do this in Poser, obj exports might be the only way.
no it can't be grouped. i had a look . i think it uses a complex UV in DS. When it says it has this "
1 DSON Core Installer" what does this do? Is this something that helps import into poser?

if you download the starter essentials and then open it the shaders should load and do an obj export and hopefully any textures and colours at least should export in the mtl file giving a bit more of a starting point in Poser.
DSON is simply DAZ studio format stuff.
I just tried to open the emergency room by perspectx in DAZ3d and got this message that i don't have these things

does this mean I haven't installed the starter essentials?

default resources is probably what you need but just install all the stuff
