Quote - an obj file should save with a matching .mtl file. The mtl file will contain only part of the Poser textures, such as color , image maps.

a mtl file does not contain pathnames , so all the files must be in the same folder

  1. create a folder under runtime/textures  for your stuff I use my userid 

  2. create a subfolder for the specific prop if a lot of image maps are used

-  runtime/textures/myuserid/mypropname

  1. put all the maps in that folder

  2. import the object file

  3. apply all the materials

  4. Save to the props folder (use the same userid folder to keep your stuff neat

you now have a poser prop that will load from the props library with all textures intact.

if you create a c:runtime folder and duplicate the subfolders you can zip it and it will extract correctly for distribution. There is no need to duplicate empty folders

 

lol. I thought I just said that. 😄
