This is exactly why I make my mat files from the cr2 or the pz2, so the incorrect path thing won't happen. It takes all of 30 seconds to find the "material" beginning and copy and paste, erase all offending extras and then saving it. I never could understand why a utility was needed to make mat files, it's really quite easy to make them yourself. And it also teaches you about the cr2/pz2, so if for some reason the mat file isn't working, you'll know the file structure well enough you can fix it and not spend the next hour trying to figure out why it doesn't work. To me, it's kind of like hand coding webpages...if you use a utility all of the time to do it all for you, when something goes wrong you aren't going to have any idea where to look....so knowing the structure that you are working with is very important. :) As an avid Poser user myself, it drives me nuts to have to correct path names and texture references (on things I purchase, freebies doesn't bother me at all )...I know that things slip through once in a while, but on purchased items they really do need to be checked more then once ;) Now, if I could just get people to purchase my products LOL!!!!
