Oh Mary Canary, don't get me wrong now. I have in fact started saving materials since reading your suggestion. It hadn't occurred to me. Doh. But your idea is a good one, and probably the best solution of all. :) I continually alter my Poser character textures though with Painter, and when you do that alot, that's when the convenience of exporting with a texture comes in handy. But now since reading what you said, I have set up numerous materials in the Vue library. Thanks! :) The Vue materials are very easy to alter, also, something else which I always have trouble with in Bryce. Cheers, Mike
