Plushies Heff

I am looking for suggestions on how to work with the Plushies Heff the elephant.  I am loading the .cr2, the file lists an .obj, but I have not found it. If anyone knows where to find the.obj, I will be appreciative.  Also, when I try to apply the textures - .mc6 files they are not correctly oriented, they are horizontal instead of vertical.  Anyone have any next step ideas?  Can I take the .cr2, or if someone knows where the .obj is, into Hexagon and correctly map the textures?  Or is there an even better way to handle this?   I would like to work with some of the other older assets so finding solutions to this would be great!

I am attaching a file of the incorrectly done texture.  It is still cute but not what I am suppose to be getting.

Thank you.

    Are you using DS , I have Heff and it loads fine in DS from clicking on the cr2. but the .mc6 material files won't work because they are Poser shaders. You could make your own textures or use shaders to color them .There is no need to re map the textures. I've been planning on making a few textures for the plushies for when I use them .

    The obj file should be in the runtime /geometries /  folder

    This is Heff with a patchwork shader or you can make your own textures for Heff or any of the Plushies.

    Traveler has made some free shaders for the Plushies.  Be sure to read the PDF as applying them isn't straightforward:

    @Taoz  I didn't know about the iRay shaders ,I only use 3DL so that's nice to know for others.Thank you

    I did see that post and will need to read the pdf and see if I can figure out how he did it.  It did look a bit difficult.  Thank you.

    Actually it looks like Traveler's shaders only work for plushies with DS textures (pz2), which means it won't work for Heff as it only has Poser materials (mc6).  But you should be able to use the Traveler shaders if you create your own DS texture maps.

    There are some DS textures for Heff though which should work with them too:

    Here's a video showing how to apply Traveler's shaders (I've used Ricky which has DS maps, here):

    Thank you for pointing out these textures.  I had them favorited but had forgotten all about them.

    I watched the video and it looked very easy and straightforward.  Thank you very much!
