Quote - For distributed Poser content, things like:

F:MyPoserProductsProduct1RuntimeTexturesMyTexturesmytexturemap.jpg

aren't going to work on anyone else's system since it is an absolute and unique path.

Is this quite correct though Robert? For example, a prop on my system has the following path in the .pp2 file:

textureMap "C:Documents and SettingsDAVIDMy DocumentsPoserTempfolderzeusweproundshield.jpg"

But when Poser loads the prop, it finds the correct texture in the directory where it really is located. It seems as if Poser searches in the specified directory, and if it fails to find it, searches the current Runtime until it does. So it's certainly advantageous to use relative paths, because the amount of searching Poser has to do is reduced, but absolute paths won't necessarily stop the object working correctly.
