Why doesn't Vanilla Sky have any mat textures?

So, I bought Vanilla Sky sss standalone and the add ons shades of vanilla sky and VS face shop. And when everything is installed, and I go into pose [I'm using PoserPro14] I get one body shape injection and NO mat poses. So I go into material room to look for textures to add manually and I get .... the PNG of what the shades of are supposed to look like, and a page called 'poser content' which certainly isn't a mat, and which crashes the computer if I try to open it.
Obviously there is some strange and arcane trick to installing this product. Please let me in on the secret.

This has an MC6, not mat poses afaik You will find theses in the material section. I use an older version of Poser, so can't be 100% certain what that is called nowadays.
right.... I will go and look see what I can find, many thanks for such a quick reply. So it has to be put on part by part, not as a whole skin? irritating but I can live with that, I can set up unmodified victorias with the skins and save them and add other characters or dial them later.
Thanks again
NO MC6 is a material collection, should apply with one click in the mat room.
Nope, even if I go into the materials, it's still this weird file called Poser Content, and the Materials room says I can't load it. There has to be a way to get to the mat files surely? I can't do it
Ok I've found the basic VS SSS now all I need to do is to find the expansions
and the other shades of the b asic VS. I have one texture ....
Ok, I have other mc6 files in libraries/materials, and they work just fine. But the VS ones don't
I don't get any maps. Only a ms6 file and if I click on it, I get 'no maps available or not enough memory'
How did you install?
and how can you put it on with one click in the Mat room? because if you go into the mat room you have to choose a part of V4 [default going to inner mouth] so there is NO WAY you can do a one click change to anything in the mat room.
so, no light, dark, whatever is supposed to be in basic VS. 2 different faces from the VS face room. No mats for the shades of VS. No one-click anything. I've downloaded and installed 3 times now. The damn thing just doesn't work. I can get the one and only texture there is through textures, not materials. And yes, I have to put the texture on the face, eyes, hands, etc etc one at a flipping time because the mat room DOES NOT ALLOW a one-click solution
Either that or there is some button to press I haven't found! Your stuff always works perfectly, Chohole! I love all your textures, and never have a problem!
Hey, thanks I figured it out, not in the materials room but the materials library! and that is oneclick! I'm happy
Sorry to be a pissy little ass, I'm STILL coming to terms with how powerful PoserPro 14 is ....
AS I said I couldn't be as much help as I would have liked to have been as I currently only have P8 installed, and that has stopped working for some strange reason. I do have a copy pf P10, not currently installed.
Posting in the Poser forum may get you more answers. You can actually move your thread over there yourself, by editing your first post (Click on the gear icon and thenclick on edit in the drop down list) and click on the category box on the left hand side to change the category.
I went from Poser 4 to PoserPro14, it's a steep learning curve .... thanks a lot for your help, i appreciate it! and now I know what you were talking about [having previously failed to find the materials library, D'OH! and thinking you meant the materials room] I am well away. STILL trying to come to grips with dynamic clothing but you know what? the community is great, people like you are so kind and free with advice that I WILL learn. When I can tear myself away from Bryce lol.
Bryce rocks
can you use Bryce rocks in Poser?
The vanilla sky& Horizon sets by Syyd ,remains
my go to texture sets, even for the G2 female, which I use exclusively.

I use Flink's stuff in Poser and Bryce, but the plants don't always work tremendously well.
And yeah, Vanilla Sky is now going to be my go to texture, as well as Pernille and Amunet both of which are great but very different textures.
Now all I need to do is to find out where the things are that the machine asks me for for shades of Vanilla Sky
