If you expect a fair proportion of users to be doing renders with textures other than the out-of-the-box ones, then set up your cr2 to have all of the materials set to white with no textures. That way, Poser 4 users won't be cluttering up their memory with textures they aren't going to render when they load the cr2. OTOH If you think just about everybody will be rendering with the out-of-the-box textures and the out-of-the-box cr2 loads with the textures in place, then your cr2 might as well carry the same texture settings as the original. Just check that Poser hasn't added an absolute path statement, since those are always a bad idea. Personally, I'd rather have two cr2s sitting in the same folder than have a cr2 and a pose. It's much faster to load that way (load one cr2 vs load a cr2 then go hunting for the corresponding pose). My pose library would be severely overloaded even if I were to delete everything except injection poses. I can't find anything in there anymore without scrolling for a couple of days. Also, if there aren't any emptly channels to use, then most injections seem to overwrite something I didn't want overwritten.
