Quote - One more question;

What about material zones, any way to add those after the fact?  I have never herd of a way, but I think I saw something about material layering, have to find the thread again, something like that might work.

For just the pants texture I can easily use the original material zones, if I use a little foresight and set them up properly, but I would still need to add some mats for things like buttons and things like that. (metal objects on the pants.)

I routinely use objFileGeom with external body part geometries to allow a figure to have, for example, a head with all material zones sub-grouped for use with magnets.  I suspect you could work something similar to add a body part with new material zones, but I haven't tested it.  Such an insertion pose should presumably include the new material listing, from the "figure" section of the cr2.  I assume, without the material in the pose, that Poser would just add a new material of the correct name, read from the inserted obj file, but by including the material listing you could set the material with the pose.  So it would be a combination geom insertion and MAT pose.

The problem would be removing the material when you're not using it.  A pose can't do that, so you'd end up carrying around the extra materials in the cr2.  But if you're prepared to have that, you could just go ahead and create those unused materials in the cr2 and they'll be properly applied when the geometry switches.  (Come to think of it, I have done this before.  Check out the Multihair figure on my main Cage Page link, from my sigline.  The cr2 carries several materials for various different hair geometries, which are switched out using geom insertion poses.)

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking.  He apologizes for this.  He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.

Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below.  His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.
