I've about gone nuts trying to put a crackle/agate/leopard/granite texture
on this figure's dress... finally, I added a box in the background... as you
can see, both the dress and the box have the same texture on them, however,
the dress comes out a solid color while the box is the texture I expected to
have on the dress?

Using MegaPov 0.6

Any ideas?

To be honest: I can't see that...

Sorry, couldn't resist :-)

Are you sure your uv map isn't getting in the way, so the dress thinks it
already has a texture?  I use 3Dwin to port Poser to Pov (well, once.  I'm
learning too) and while the free version doesn't port the textures from
poser, I've found that I can texture the objects individually myself.  I
haven't tried UV mapping, though.

If you used 3DWin and exported as a mesh2 object, you should have a list of the
textures in the *_m.inc file. The dress texture should be listed. In one the
radiosity tests I posted some time ago, the list looked like this (it should be
shorter for a P3 figure). The T_* names are from Poser and 3DWin. I declared the
txtHead etc. textures before).

#declare T_SkinHead = texture{txtHead}
#declare T_Eyebrows = texture{txtHead}
#declare T_Lips = texture{txtHead}
#declare T_Lacrimal = texture{txtHead}
#declare T_Eyelashes = texture{txtLashes}
#declare T_InnerMouth = texture{txtHead}
#declare T_Nostrils = texture{txtHead}
#declare T_Tongue = texture{txtHead}
#declare T_UpperEyebrows = texture{txtHead}
#declare T_Teeth = texture{txtHead}
#declare T_SkinBody = texture{txtBody}
#declare T_Nipples = texture{txtBody}
#declare T_Eyeballs = texture{txtHead finish{reflection 0.02}}
#declare T_Pupils = texture{txtHead finish{reflection 0.02}}
#declare T_Eyewhites = texture{txtHead finish{reflection 0.02}}
#declare T_Irises = texture{txtHead}
#declare T_Toenails = texture{txtBody}
#declare T_Fingernails = texture{txtBody}
#declare T_hair = texture{txtHair}
#declare T_bangs = texture{txtHair}
#declare T_wrap = texture{txtHair}
#declare T_dress = texture{pigment{image_map{png "dressmap"}}finish{finVicky}}
// dress

Yes, the list is there.

I've modified the line for the dress to include the texture I applied to the
box.

If you scale the texture, it will shift to one of the other colors in the
color map, however, it is always one color.  It does not take on the pattern
like the box.  The texture and application section are here:

  #declare DressText = texture {
    pigment {
      crackle
      turbulence 1
      lambda 1
      frequency 2
      color_map {
        [0.0 color rgbf <1.0000, 0.2900,0.2000>]
        [0.3 color rgbf <0.9297, 0.8438,0.6797,.45>]
        [1.0 color rgbf <1.0000, 0.2900,0.2000>]
      }
    }
    scale .0025
  }
#declare OBJuvPOV_Texture_OBJuvPOVPreview1 = texture {DressText}

I don't know if it is necessary with your converter-program, but did you
enable uv_mapping in the mesh description by putting "uv_mapping" at the end
of the object-description?

Just a (wild) guess ...

I pulled out the section in the mesh .inc file that corresponds to the
dress... turned off the uv_vector portion and the uv_mapping variable at the
end of the mesh....

The dress still renders as one color.

I GOT IT!

The problem was the uv_mapping variable at the end of the mesh statements.
There were three sections that corresponded to the dress.  I had only turned
off the uv_mapping on the first one which was the bottom of the dress.

Image with dress with correct texture attached!

Hey, I have a dress like that... Thank goodness the straps don't slice
into my shoulders that way.
