Problem loading material for short and long tail for Whisper the unicorn. Regardless of silver or gold.

I get a pop up when I try to add short or long tail material for the Whisper unicorn. I tried both long & short & both colors. Silver & gold. This is the popup I keep getting. I even reinstalled the files a second time. I did have tail selected. Didn't help. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Rick, it looks like Whisper has loaded with the Unicorn tail (the default for Whisper I think), if you would like to use the long/short tails you will need to delete the uni tail and add the horse tail then select the correct mat file.

Thank you so much Rae! I removed the unicorn tail & gave it the horse tail, morped its size to fit the whisper unicorn & it worked fine. I could then make it long or short with the whisper material file. The only thing, was I had to apply a texture to the tail from one of the many horse textures I have, as there is no gold or silver texture for the regular tail in the Whisper folder. Which is fine. :) Thank you so much again!

hmm not too sure with Whisper (I haven't used him in Poser, I'm mainly a DS user) but I'm sure it loads with a texture? (from memory I don't think there's SF settings tho, only FF so the preview may not be view correctly?)

My mistake, the short/long material file for the gold and silver in the whisper material folder actually applied the material long & short. It didn't make the tail itself long or short. :) The whisper unicorn tail has its own material gold/silver material for the original tail. In Short, there are textures there for the regular tail & the for the unicorn tail. I was originally applying the regular textures to the unicorn tail, which is why it could not apply the texture. I guess I am tired. :)

You don't have the tail loaded, the one you have is the unicorn tail and has seperate mats, you need to load the horse tail.
