IPB pays no attention to material settings... it wasn't meant to. I didn't see the need to duplicate what 'MAT Pose Edit' already does (and does quite well. Granted, not available on Mac.). I did, however, include functions to work with the information in a 'MAT' pose. Specifically, the 'Manual readScript Insertion' function, found at the bottom of the 'Options' menu as well as the right-click(PC)/option-click(Mac) menu, is one that allows you to simply browse to the file (in this case, a 'MAT' Pose) you wish to reference. In doing so, IPB will create the readScript link to that file. I've also included an 'Append > To End...' function, located in the 'File' menu as well as the middle-click(PC)/control-click(Mac) menu, that allows you to browse to a file (again, in this case, a 'MAT' pose) and have its contents added to the end of the displayed file.

As far as a PDF, there isn't currently... but I'll see about creating one (even if it means doing it on my own time).

And as for needing to buy things to make V3 work... You don't NEED to buy things to make her work, she works fine without this utility. Is she more complex than any other figure out there? Sure, but such is the way things go when technological advances are rolled into a product like V3... it's part of growing. With evolution, comes change. With change, comes the need to learn new things. If that wasn't the case... we'd all still be limited to Posette (no offense to those who hold Posette near and dear). And please remember, this isn't coming from someone that doesn't know what its like 'on the other side of the fence.' I've been a part of this community for many years longer than I've been employed by DAZ. Fortunately, I've had the unique opportunity to see both sides of the fence in an 'up close and personal' kind of way. Plain and simple, Vitoria 3 was created the way she was to get around dead ends in the application for which she was created. I couldn't possibly be more honest... and truth be told, I'm affraid to count the hours I've personally spent on research and development (both independently and for DAZ) to get around the limitations. A stagnent market eventually dies... it MUST grow to survive.

This utility started as a personal project (with no intentions of releasing it). After having spent some [of my own] time on it, I saw a way to use it in DAZ's production pipeline to speed things up (still, without plans to release it). After some discussion with my co-workers, and subsequent discussions with the PTB, it was decided to polish it a little and go ahead and release it. We viewed IPB as a fast and easy way to foster 3rd party development. That said, IPB does exactly what it was intended to do, speed up the pipeline... it just turns out that it isn't exclusively DAZ's pipeline any longer.
