Quote - If pointing multiple pp2 files to one obj. doesn't actually save memory it would be pointless, but supposing it does?... This might open up a world of possibilities. I shall experiment.

Perhaps a whole world, but certainly not a whole new world, this has been standard practice since at least P4, and probably right from the first Poser version.

"Stripping out the geometry is pointless and is possibly harmful."

"..harmful? what your computer explodes? you get a case of the weeping bueboes....?"

Stripping out the geometry is not pointless, for reasons BB explained, and it is never harmful, and as nruddock said, many brokerages insist that you do strip out internal geomCustom and use an external obj file. I strongly disagree with this total ban on geomCustom and think it is very stupid, but it is certainly not harmful. In props neither internal geomCustom nor external obj files are harmful, except for the extra memory burden associated with multiple instances of internal geometry. Figures are a diffrent story, and it is almost never a good idea to use internal geomCustom in figures, except in the developement stage.
