Hi Recently i got some free stuff on renderosity. I installed the product and it is showing in poser formats. But when I apply it to my model or stand alone open i nothing shows up just a transparent dress shows up. Please see te attachment below. Item is in .pp2 format. Am I suppose to convert it or how can i use this? Thank you

    Poser pp2 format is a Prop, so it's likely a dynamic cloth product for Poser. Not sure why you're not seeing anything though.

    Check the Surfaces pane with the babydoll selected and see if there's anything in the Cutoff Opacity parameter. It's likely that there is, and probably along with a lowered value on that slider as well. 

     

    Have you tried turning on a different view option? Smooth Shaded, Iray, Filament? 

    Odd.

    Hi I tried that as well but after making opacity 100% the product turns black. Yes I have tried other view options I can't see anything on them. The product doesnot even fit the model it just spawns at (0,0,0). Not sure whats wrong because I never worked with poser content

    You're in FabricSets under Materials -- try loading the outfit first. That is likely under Figures.

    If the item comes as a PP2 then it will load into DS as a static prop, now your screenshot shows a prop called "Babydoll" has been loaded, this means you are dealing with an outfit that uses Poser Dynamic Cloth, which doesn't do anything in DS which is why you have a static prop.

    Now the left side of your image shows me that you are in the Materials library, this means MC6 or MT5 files, now the problem here is that 95% of the contents of those files are completely useless in DS, and that is assuming they load as MC6's usually only work on figures.

    Basically you are going to have to do what all us old hands have done for nearly 20 years, make your own surface settings as what we get from Poser is utter garbage.

    To get the outfit to work on a figure you will need to use D-Force, but be advised that as this is from ODF it's probably built to fit his "Toni" figure which doesn't use a standard T or A pose, so you'll probably have to do a few animated drapes to get it to fit another figure.
