For the Hoof zone, let's say we want to use a different shader. We're going to need a new template zone for that. I've chosen a bunch of generic Template Zone names and we could use one of those, such as Template Nail. Or, we could type in a new one.

Let's type in a new one.

Click Add Material Zone.

A dialog comes up. Using the pulldown, select * other - type it in *.

Another dialog comes up. Enter Hoof and hit OK. Be very very careful typing this name. I have not found a way in Poser to delete or rename material zones, so there's no way to correct mistakes. Perhaps you want to save the prop before you do this.

You now have a new material zone template on your control prop. You should be able to see it in the materials list. You'll need to come up with a good horse hoof material and put it in there. A lesson for another day. :)
