I'm just going through all your info, and experiementing with Roxie.

Do you know if there is a way to export Roxie base mesh to ZB, subd it in ZB and import back into Poser without loosing the material (UV) zones?  Previously I've converted the material zones into geometry zones, which sort of works - but far from perfect.

That depends on one simple thing: Does UVMapper Basic have the option to subdivide a mesh? I know UVMapper Pro does.  

 

If so, in theory you can get back the groups and materials in a similar fashion as described earlier (or you could skip ZBrush entirely). If UVMapper Basic has the option to subdivide or you have UVMapper Pro by chance, you'll be able to subdivide the mesh in either app and retain both material zones and groups. HOWEVER, you will lose access to any morphs that were in the lower res version.  This may not be a concern for what you're doing, as many things on the figures are handled with bones and magnets. Including opening the characters' mouths.
