Hi W and W - thanks for the suggestion.

Yep - if you apply a different figure mat file in Poser the new textures are included in the Material table correctly - but the overriding color cast unfortunately remains.

The current color is H31 S206 L47 - I delete the figure, re-import, and it has now become H180 S193 L120!  Perhaps if I could delete Material_0 to Material_25 from the Materials list it would work - but I do not know how to do that.  This color must come from somewhere!

Note to self - try to stop pulling hair out.
