Props all Spec Material on auto load

[bpzen]

Hi all,

I just got this pro set

https://www.daz3d.com/bar-interior

Im running into a odd situation where non of the materials load (I have DUFF selected in view port) then when I auto load any of the props in teh scene they are all SPEC, I then change to diffuse manually connect maps etc still all white.

Any ideas why materials are not loading and or loading as all SPEC?

the autoconversion is guessing based on whatever settings those props have. It's not going to be right pretty often so I wouldn't really worry bout it too much.

Them being white however, I dunno. Do they have textures assigned? What is the gamma setting and power and all that stuff. Maybe post a screenshot of what the node look like.

yea i figured it was guessing wrong and basically started doing the manual set up of mats but when i change mat to diffuse and delete everything , load diff map - all white still really odd. ill try and get screen shot up

i set things to blank material and manually doing it seems to work

thanks for reply

the plug in seems much better im on the verge of uninstalling Poser

what I do is just change the material type and it keeps the textures. that way I don't have to hunt down the maps again.
