"Gareee, you should be aware that many people prefer to render outside of Poser, and it's responsible to keep that in mind. Particularly if you want happy customers." I do. But the majority of poser users render in some flavor of poser itself. And as I mentioned, it is very easy to remove all the additional mat zones, with 2 simple text edits to the cr2. it is NOT easy however, to be able to create a lot of mat zones without 3d skills, and familiarity with a 3d modeling application, which is over many peope's heads. If some is using another application with a better rendering enginbe, they also probably have lite cr2 editing skills, and the knowledge to reference the original obj as opposed to a new ones with additional material divisions. Cr2 files can get VERY bloated with a big new morph set, and a lot of injection channels, so it makes more sense to provide the additiona mats in the obj, and the cr2 that references it, rather then including a whole new cr2 in a download. And honestly, this is the first thread I've EVER seen in over 2 years complaining about additional mat zones. Every time I release a product with additional ones, I get many emails and posts thanking me for including them in a morph set, which is uncommon. I've never ever seen one complaint at all about me adding additional mat zone in any of my products (and there were noe specfic in this thread), so I do have to go with what looks like my customer's wishes. Hope that makes sense to you?

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
