Thanks for that, loads to look into.... never even heard MC6... gosh it's all a lot more complicated than I thought, but I like a challenge. So when I create a texture for the skin and some make up options in the material room, then I can have them with a picture shown for the runtime so that when my friends then try to add it to the morphed figure it would load the same way as it would be if they bought a character set with textures? Sorry I must sound like an idiot, just want to get it right and don't really understand all the jargon you get in the help files in poser8
