You can apply poses to unparented props, but you have to hack the pz2, and there must be a figure in the Poser document.

I discovered how to apply poses to unparented props back in May 2003, after a related breakthrough with 'Point At' by Migal. Here's how; make your MAT pose, then in a text editor 'Search and Replace' the string 'prop' with 'actor'. Example for the Poser box primitive:

{<br></br>//'boxMAT.pz2' for the Poser 'BOX.PP2'.<br></br>version<br></br>    {<br></br>    number 3.0<br></br>    }<br></br> box_1<br></br> {<br></br>   material Preview<br></br>            {<br></br>           KdColor 1 0.768627 0.768627 1 <br></br>              KaColor 0 0 0 1 <br></br>            KsColor 0 0 0 1 <br></br>            TextureColor 1 1 1 1 <br></br>               NsExponent 10 <br></br>              tMin 0 <br></br>             tMax 0 <br></br>             tExpo 0.6 <br></br>          bumpStrength 1 <br></br>             ksIgnoreTexture 0 <br></br>          reflectThruLights 1 <br></br>                reflectThruKd 0 <br></br>            textureMap ":Ground Default Texture.tif"<br></br>                            0 0 <br></br>                bumpMap NO_MAP<br></br>              reflectionMap NO_MAP<br></br>                transparencyMap NO_MAP<br></br>              ReflectionColor 1 1 1 1 <br></br>            reflectionStrength 1 <br></br>               }<br></br>   }<br></br>figure<br></br>    {<br></br>    }<br></br>}

Notes:
There must be a figure in the document before any pose file can be applied to anyting. The pz2 above is for 'box_1', if you loaded another instance of the box it would be named 'box_2', the MAT pose for box_1 will not work on box_2, you would have to make another MAT refering to box_2, or include a section for box_2 in the original MAT.
