Thanks for both answers.

So Shaun, would you recommend  I create a new folder, ,rename the texture .mats I'm using and copy them to this folder? This is possible as i am using a limited range of materials.

As I explained I'm using a range of objects (from Poser/DAZ and elsewhere) and texturing them in Vue Infinite.

Also is there a way to reduce the number of textures on an object. For instance poser files have many objects can I combine/merge these and then apply one texture to the whole object?
