This is a feature that Poser lacks. If a figure is modified and then sent back to the library they loose their identity. Or, at least their roots. Those of us who have been doing Poser for ages can recognize most figures. That's cheating.
Here's a couple of DNA tests for figures to determine their actual identity.
Materials.
1. In the Material Room,
2. Use the eye dropper tool.
3. Pick the figure's skin.
4. On the edit tab, find the figure's textures.
5. You may need to use the show/hide buttons to see the preview thumbnail and settings for the texture.
6. Click the name to open the Texture Manager
7. Ah ha! It must be LaFemme!
Most of the time this will reveal the truth. But, if the figure has been re-skinned with custom textures this won't answer the question. So, the next way is to check their geometry files.
List the files in use:
1. From the Top Menu choose Scripts > PrintInfo > ListFiles
2. One of the geometry files will be your figure's. That may also reveal their origin.
Just Ask
The last way is to post a screen shot of the figure displayed in Wireframe view. Somebody will likely recognize the topology of the figure.
This is Will by the way. Originally included with Poser 5. If you really are using will he's one of the children. There's not a lot of content mage for him.
