So that you can't reproduce the issue, it's on my end. That's good to know.

Sorry for not being clear, in the last sentence. It was really confusing =)
I added two more screen caps to show what I tried to say (on left: how it was initially converted from Poser -> OR plug in; right side is after loading the mat. from the LiveDB)
The plug in version I'm currently using is 3.5.3.80
I happen to have older versions, back to 3.4.0.78 on my hdd, which I quickly installed and tried. The result was the same as described above.


To be honest ... I'm not losing any sleep over this. I just disconnect the pin(s), save the materials back to my local DB/hdd and all is good

if I'm the only one this is happening to, I don't want you to waste to much time on this issue, as it's not critical for me.

I have a question. Are you going to add a XYZ trans feature to the Proxy setting? So we will be able to move it around in poser plugin,

Doing this would require a lot of internal changes to the plugin - so it's not something that I can do in the short-term.

Hey, Paul

What about the NodeGraph feature. That can't just be for textures. Remember in my earlier post I used it to get the VDB files into poser (can't remember how I did it) before you added the Proxy feature to the node type selection. You can choose all the nodes in the plugins NodeGraph that are in the stand-Alone, including the placement node, Plus geometry out node. It's just a shot in the dark. I don't know if you thought about this already but it could be a temporary workaround.

thanks

As some of you have already mentioned, RedSpec was designed in OctaneRender for Poser times, when the plug-in didn't support the usage of bump and normals at the same time, hence the now introduced changed behavior of 0,0,0 normal maps might introduce a problem.

We will look into this and update the Poser shaders accordingly, with the MK3 update coming soon.
