Quote - JoEtzold, I didn't get you with matching files confusion in Poser. A file name is supposed to be unique. Except if a file has been duplicated among several runtimes I can't see how Poser could load a file instead of another.
Or do you mean that Poser is confusing files with "-" and "_" in name ? Like in "con-fusing.obj" and "con_fusing.obj".
I sure have to check this out too.LostinSpaceman, Poser will fix this one day (they probably are not aware of this). You'de better prefix file names with something. Say "C" for creatures and "C" for cloths ;)
They're on verion 7Pro and they haven't "Fixed" it yet. I seriously doubt it's even on their priority radar at this point in time.
As for the duplicated filenames issue, that's also been around since the dark ages. Whenever Poser doesn't find the file in the place specified in the Cr2, PP2 or whatever file, it goes seraching the whole runtime or all runtimes if it has external ones linked. It will then grab the first instance of a file with the same name even if it's not the file intended. This is why unique filenaming is so important when it comes to creating content. Just because you name your texture Blue.jpg doesn't mean it's going to work on product X by another merchant who also named their texture Blue.jpg.
