Phantast, you might find that Craig's newest application on his site would be very helpful. Its called Babel, (windows only) it reads Poser PZ3 files and collects all your textures, including transparencies, to a directory. I save my transparency shaders for reuse in Carrara, so I don't have a big problem there. But the biggest problem I find is being able to get my program to find all my Poser textures that I want to use for my scene, and I am able to get my scene shaders set up much faster thanks to his application. this is the type of thing Poser should do, and doesn't. And the idea of making Poser objs the size of bacteria really is a huge pain in my side when making props.
