Preface: TOTAL NEWBIE!

Okay, here's my deal. I've been working on a set of textures for the V3 MFD and I'd love to post them somewhere as a free download. Now, being a fan of free, I like well put together packages... like the ones that have materials pose files and unzip to be easily accessable instead of just "Plop, here's a .jpg"

Thing is, while I can save my Textures (once applied) as a Daz Script file (.dsb), I'd like to make it easy for poser users (with a .pz2?) Is there an export or converter that will do that? I'd hate to have to get poser just to make content packages.

I have no clue about .pz2's.... I'm exceedingly new to this as well. In fact, I'm so new I want you to tell me how to save it as something other than a .jpg, and how that works... LOL. I've made several hair textures, and one set of textures for a room prop, but so far I still have to use the surface tab to manually select the textures.

All I can suggest is using Mat Pose Edit to build a Mat file from scratch (load the CR2 file from the original installation of the dress, set your textures and colours using the fields in MPE and save as a PZ2: you can then test it roughly in D|S to make sure the right texture and transparencies etc. are applied, but you'll need a Poser user to review it to see how it looks there before putting it up for download). A Poser Mat file created that way won't support the Poser 5 Material Room settings, so you will be limited to Poser 4 settings which are more restricted than the D|S Surface settings.

Okay, here's the "how to save materials": File>Save As>Material Preset, then you get a .dsb file. You can also save posees w/ File>Save As>Pose Preset. Same thing, you get a .dsb file. Useful for your own work, and eventually, for sharing with other D|S users, but not yet useful in the general poser community. D|S can read .pz2s but not create them. And thanks for the suggestion about MPE, I'll go looking and see what I can do.
