Quote - And a side note...how can I change the name of a node...I have seen some character names for the bump or image map, as opposed to Image or Bump...just curious :)
Well, what most people do to change the name of a node is save the material then open that material file in a simple text editor like Notepad. Just search for the exact name of the node you want to change, then rename it. No spaces though; use underscores "_" and no special characters. Then just resave the material file with the ".mc5" or ".mc6" on the end - whatever kind of file it happened to be.
That works but not always. Poser will sometimes rename nodes back to what they started out as. Also, there's lots of plugins like Shader Spider(not for use in Poser 9+) and Advanced Material Editor(over at runtimedna) that can change the name of nodes as well.
