Another quick note. It's important to understand how poser works. When you make a cr2, poser reads the information in the geometry obj to find the list of body parts and materials. Each body part it finds has to correspond to the actor list in the cr2. As poser reads the body parts, it also makes a list of the materials. The 1st material it finds will be at the top of the list in Surface Materials, the 2nd in second place, and so on. So poser reads the materials in the order they're placed in the obj file. By adding a dummy part with materials, you're forcing poser to find that part first, and read the materials in the order you want them. mac PS Very important - If you try this, remember to delete the geometry .rsr first or poser won't find the new obj information.
