The figure creator should follow standard poser conventions to avoid causing confusion. Of course, no one can force him/her to do it, but in the end, it only creates havoc if you invent your own bizarre material names. The general idea is to use the materials names given by Curious Labs or DAZ (the 2 industry standards). This also applies to body parts and other things like that. Poser is intensely case sensitive, and it doesn't like being messed around with. mac
