Does anyone have a valid link to this free software? Thanks!

AFAIK, the program hasn't been updated in 6-7 years.
It might not even be usable with a modern version of Poser.
Keep in mind that the MAT-pose was not officialy supported from the start.
You have a lot more utility by creating an MC6 (or MT5) in the Material Room.

The older mat pose editors don't handle bump maps properly because the Poser Surface changed.

A new slot called "Bump" was added and that superceded the old "Gradient Bump" slot.
Gradient bump is now used for normal maps or for the legacy ".bum" files.

Thanks for the info. I read some very old web pages regarding the program. It sounded interesting but I realize now that it would have served no purpose. I'm using Poser 2012 so I'm sure things have changed considerable. -TOM-

Thanks... Appreciate the replies to my thread! -Tom-

Mat pose edit doesn't work on anything newer than windows xp. It still can be useful to create many mat poses, but posr's native MC6 files now can replace most of those.

And you can still find the page for it if you search for it as mat pose edit and Iilari, who was the author.

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.

There is a "tempory" link to MAT Pose Edit in this therad. The application can still do a lot of usefull things, even though it may be outdated in some regards. In particular MPE is not limited to MAT poses, and its extensive channel selection and filtering abilities can be very usefull in many situations.

At the time of writing the link is still functioning.

Thanks... I use Win7 so if it's not stable software I'll just pass it up.

I found the LINK and now have the program installed using XP Compatibility mode. I have Win7 on my machine. It politely warned me about writing over newer system files (.ocx) during the installation so I am glad that my newer files were not changed. It's up and running. I will give it a test drive today. Thanks! -TOM-
