I'll tell you what, though. If you put all your textures for things in the geometry file, you are going to end up with a mess sooner or later. It will load easily, but it will also load easily if you put textures in the texture file and when you load the model, it will ask for the texture. When you load the texture, then it will find the texture the next time--particularly if you resave the model in the library with that texture. (I sort mine by type--Vicky has her own folder, as does Mike, animals, imported P4 nude woman and man, clothing, etc.--you really need to think this out ultimately to come up with a system for yourself. You will also need basically the same thing as you download and store on CD's or whatever or you will never find anything. Been there, done that S). Remember, for instance, that Vicky, as an example, has the default texture, but if you buy several and want to apply different ones at different times, what do you do then??--unless you save Vicky as a different 'character' with each different texture. Another point is clothing--you will end up with lots of various textures for a P4 dress for instance--transmaps, textures, etc.--you will want to load different tex/transmaps at various times. There is a very good tutorial explaining the various extensions and where each goes if I can find it. I believe that Storm did it originally and I'm sure it has been deleted from Free Stuff here. I'll try to locate the URL and post it. Diane
