Personally, I do all my MAT's as Pose files, but when I'm done, they get renamed and shipped off to the Camera or Face folder. My personal stratedy is Clothing MAT's to Camera, Skin MAT's to face and Hair MAT's to Hair (so I dont have to run around searching 18000000000 freakin places for something that's related. Makes sense all body together all hair together...clothing is special cos it makes no sense to make a bazillion cr2's that just take up more space, but I know where I put them) I don't make mine automatically camera files because many people are dead set against the Merchant setting the directory OUTSIDE of the Pose file, which I wil NEVER understand since it saves space in the overly-used Pose folder to begin with. Honestly, I think we all need to sit down as merchants and say "This is where X file type should go" and stick to it. Be it camera or pose I could care less, but it would save botht he merchant and the purchacer a freakin headache AND save threads like this from being brought up if we had a set standard where stuff should go.
Remember...getting lost is the senic route to the eventual destination. (And a lot prettier than the straight road)
