Quote - I hope that P4 and P5 will no longer be sold next year and MAT poses die soon after that...

Speaking as the creator/discoverer of MAT poses, I agree 100% with this statement :)

There are only a couple of things that MAT poses did that MC6 files cannot, and those can be addressed either as requests to e Frontier, hopefully to be included in a future version of Poser, or to our Python gurus (which would obviously yield faster results, due to less overhead). Also, since Poser no longer supports those functions (changing only the texture in a complex material setup, for example), there is no need for MAT poses with Poser 5/6/7.
