Can anyone that create poses help me with this?

@rosemow I don't know if you can help me with this, but I'd appreciate any links that will help. I have been over at S4S and people have shown me pose tutorials but not the actual reason why mine as suddenly gone B & W. This makes it very tricky to see details in order to pose them, particularly in the smaller areas such as facial expressions.

I have just begun experimenting with pose creation and everything was fine until I went in and the rig was B & W instead of colour. Blender looks very complex and I know making poses doesn't require all the features it offers, but since I am a true beginner in this area of Simming I may have pressed something that changed things.

I am yet to find a tutorial which shows me how to set up Blender specifically for this area of creation. If someone can help me that is familiar with posing, I'd really appreciate it.

Here is a picture to show what is happening. I had one response saying to change the button down the bottom left, next to "pose mode" to texture, which I did but to no avail. I really hope someone can link me to someone that can help with setting up blender ready for posing, thank you.

This is what it looks like at the moment. But is should look like the other one below it.

  • They are exactly the same.

    Well apart from the sim (obviously).

    It seems like blender is having trouble locating the information it needs to display the correct texture. Now without getting super techincal, with these rigs all the information should be "baked" into the blender file you get once you export, this is to prevent blender being unable to recall the texture say if it were in another file and that contributing file got relocated.

    I'm wondering if this might just be to do with S4S being unable to locate the appropriate texture, so its falling back on an old black and white texture instead. Perhaps something to do with the latest game pack has moved some textures around.

    What version of S4S are you using?
  • The absolute latest version is 3.1.1.0 (I had to just go update it myself *shame*).

    If that doesn't work I'm afraid this is beyond me.

    I'll link in the blender file I use and leave it up for a couple of days, but unfortunately that's the best I can do.

  • Thank you so much for your time and efforts, @Mia_ I really do appreciate it.
  • Just thought I'd tell you, @Mia_ . I updated to the latest version of S4S and re-installed blender and all is okay now so far. Thank you so much for your time and efforts to help. <3
