Picture tutorial on how to correct texture and cr2 names

[Kathryn]

I had a problem today with some of Godin's characters in that the names that they used for the different textures were the same between characters and even for some other artists characters as well.  So I had to go in and fix all of them up.  I thought that some other people might have the same problem some time so I did some screen captures to show how I corrected the problem and thought that I would share it with you all.  I don't know if this has been explained before but I didn't see a tutorial in the poser section so here is mine.  This is for poser and I used Notepad to make the corrections just so you know.  I don't know if it is different for Daz or not.  If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.  I'm going to put the tutorial images on the next pages because I have 10 pages in all.

If you need to see them more clearly you can click on them to expand.  Most of the textures and names were straight forward but there were a few instances where I had to do some looking to figure out where the problem was.

For example the Noir character of hers had regular eyes (9 different colours) and goth eyes (6 of those) and although the goth ones had their own Lacrimal textures they still used some of the same eye colours but not in order.  The goth eyes 01 to 02 still had to have their eye texture part changed to match textures in the texture file with the Noir character name in front of them.  But the goth 03 used Noir's 04 eye texture, Goth 04 used Noir's 07 texture, etc.

Also one of the characters had two styles of lips, one regular and one with lip gloss, so Lips01 and Lips01 lip gloss each had to use the same Lips texture from the texture file.  So I had to do twice as many lip texture changes.

Oh, and one of the characters's makeup textures went like, MU01, MU02 .... MU010, MU011, MU12 (without the zero before it) MU14 and just to confuse things more MU015.  lol.

So if you do this tutorial and have problems with some parts of it this may be why you're having problems.  But if I can help I would be happy to.
