Quote - lesbentley: if we could load the mesh with the alternate UVs via a pose file, that would be fantastic.

I'm away from home and Poser for a few days, so I can't do any experimenting, or provide practical examples. I have only dabbled with this, so there could be pitfalls I don't know about, but on the face of things it seems that geometry can be loaded actor by actor using the same syntax as is used in pp2 files.

This can be done in original cr2, or applied to a figure in Poser with a pz2. In the case where the original geom is loaded via a 'figureResFile' line, I suspect the original obj would remain in memory. If the original geom is loaded actor by actor the same as in a pp2, injecting new geom might overwrite the memory space, but this is only supposition, and I don't know how to check if that happens.

Either way injecting new geometry via a pose file seems to hold out the promise of swapping between differently UV mapped geometry without needing to carry anything extra in the default cr2. Whether the new geom, once swapped in, would necessarily constitute an extra memory burden seems to be an open question.

I have never succeeded in injecting a new geom via a figureResFile in a way that will survive a save and reload, and suspect that it can't be done, but I could be wrong.
