One more thought. Parsing Poser files is relatively easy. It's deciphering what it all means that can lead one to the sanitarium. Much of it is undocumented, some of it has no known use, other stuff is for Poser use only, and alot of it is needless repetition (check out Poser 5 material channels). Value ranges (especially for material properties) vary indiscriminately and do not necessarily match those shown inside of Poser (0-100% in Poser could be 0-1, 0-100, -10000-10000 in the file - who knows; only CL in some instances). Not saying that it's impossible, just extremely, frustratingly mind-numbing at times. ;0) BYS
