PIAVCA

Setup

Install Piavca and run the viewer.py applicaiton which should be located in the Windows Start bar. Navigate and select the cal3d.cfg file which was created and hopefully your avatar will load.

Unless you are purely using shaders, you will immediately notice that the avatar is completely white.

In order to correct this, you will need to take the original *.jpg textures of the Poser model, and convert them to *.tga files, and update the files within the *.XRF files which the Cal3D 3DSMax script created. You can find out which textures should be specified in which XRF file by looking at the order in the materials editor in 3DSMax.

TGA files tend to be very large, and the Poser images are very high resolution, so you may also wish to resisze them.

Sometimes the textures will load but they appear unaligned. In this case, try flipping the textures horizontally and vertically.
