"I agree that eliminating the simple tab in the material room was a horrible idea."

WTF ?? Getting off-topic from Genesis importing, but this revelation left me sick to my stomach.

Yes, I'm still on PP_11, busily saving towards P_12 upgrade at next release version, which I hope has much more tolerant FBX rig import from Blender, Noesis, DS, ($$) 3DOC or whatever. Herding 10 ~~ 50+ free-flying sub-rigs per figure is no fun at all. Beyond getting very, very slow, 'Hierarchy' window has a nasty habit of crashing Poser when you try to parent a figure's multiple sub-rigs to a 'place holder' handle...

FWIW, I import a lot of 'ripped' sets, props etc as OBJ + minimal MTL. Being able to quickly and easily allocate / edit Diffuse, Ambient, Transparency & Bump / Displacement maps is very important...

IMHO, tossing folk straight into the oft-non-intuitive, multi-layered arcana of  'Advanced Properties' is not a good way to encourage them to use Poser beyond month's trial...

Sure, have option to show / hide 'Basic' system, but please have that system...
