Of course what would really make for glory is if the programmers at Curious could get Poser to respect figure names internally. I talked a little with someone from Curious and it looks very much like Poser was originally programmed to create an "instance" from the input file. So, essentially, all multi-character use of Poser, from actual characters to characters with conforming clothing, is hacked in by incrementing this "instancing." Now, if instead of setting all the actor numbers and ERC numbers on the fly each time a new figure was encountered (via library or off a saved pz3), Poser were to keep them intact.... Of course, one would have to be slightly clever with the ERC labels -- except that Poser is already able to insert the "appropriate" numbers if you merely leave those numbers off (that is to say, Poser finds an ERC donor and uses that figure number). That BTW is the real glory of this pose hack you guys have come up with. It acts AFTER Poser has finished loading, on the actual workspace the silly thing has created.
