Many times, the texture paths in the MAT files are not correct and so Poser goes on the hunt for them. You may want to take a look at Hogwarden's "Correct Reference" program which checks your CR2 and PZ2 files and corrects the texture location. There is a free version here: http://www.hogsoft.com/ and a more substantial 'Pro' version here: http://market.renderosity.com/softgood.ez?ViewSoftgood=27516 Personally, I wouldn't be without this program but do be aware that the free version has a few minor quirks when correcting textures: If searching for (eg) a texture called 'red.jpg', CR will assign the first one it finds alphabetically in your textures folder even if it's not the correct one for that specific MAT. The pro version alerts you when it finds 2 or more textures with identical names which is helpful. (The pro version also checks and correct Geometry files/locations) As long as you're aware of this and keep an eye on the dialog report box when CR is running you should be ok. Also, don't try and change too many folders at once or you'll lose track of what's happening!
