Ive looked at Baron's pose files, and the way he does it is to have every piece have identical mat group names. I made a combo pose file that included all mat groups. This revealed that applying a pose to an item that includes settings for a non-existant group is NOT ignored, but it instead ADDS this extra group to the item (it becomes visible in Material Settings) So to avoid this, Ive made a text matset consisting of: bootsGOLD.pp2 - for boots only, with boot,cuff,trim,sole chainsGOLD.pp2 - for coif and hauberk, with chians zone thighsGOLD.pp2 - thigh only, with armour, trim, rivits, leather, and buckle zones -armorGOLD.pp2 - for curiass, arms, gauntlets, legs. Armour, trim, rivits and leather groups I made thighs seperate as its the only item with a buckle zone. Is there anything special I need to know to make a collected prop pose?
