Quote - As for the MAT pose features that have stopped working, I can't say I've noticed anything that uses them.

You used to see lots of them, even in DAZ products.  They did things like change bump strength while leaving other settings alone, or turn transparency on and off, so you could see hair textures while you adjusted them, then turn on transparency when you were ready to render.  People stopped making them after Poser 5 came out, because they only worked in Poser 4.

It's easy enough to change an mc6 into a MAT pose, but Poser 5 doesn't have as wide a range of nodes as Poser 6 so for advanced materials you have to actually change the node set up itself, which is no fun at all.  Also, no matter how easy it is to make a material collection into a MAT pose, it's a total pain having to update two separate sets of files every time you decide you need to tweek the bump strength or something.
