Does anyone where know a great deal about these files? In particular, how to create a file that would create a new Materials setting. I've seen several subdividing materail poses, but they simply color the entire segment of the body and look a little weird (particularly around the neck). I was trying to create one that be appied only to area on Vicky that would be affected under her spandex full body morph. Any thoughts or anyone having already ended up doing this?

Check out PoserArcana. There's a tutorial there on MAT, MAP and MOR file making. Hope this helps.

I already had. It didn't help at all. Thanks

May be my site would help. http://www.fallencity.net/lore If there is a specific body part, you can always create a MAT file for just that one part. Here's an example that does the right hand. (This would not include any fingers. Each part of each finger would need to be done separately.) You'd have to crack the .cr2 file to see what the exact name of the body part was. The texture map location assumes the location path starts from the ...runtimetexture folder. In my case, it would be c:poserruntimetextureCrescentexamplehand.jpg. Please remember, Poser is case sensitive for directory/file locations. actor rHand:1 { customMaterial 1 material SkinBody { KdColor 1 1 1 1 KaColor 0 0 0 1 KsColor 1 1 1 1 TextureColor 1 1 1 1 NsExponent 1 tMin 0 tMax 0 tExpo 0 bumpStrength 1 ksIgnoreTexture 0 reflectThruLights 1 reflectThruKd 0 textureMap ":Crescent:example:hand.jpg" 0 0 bumpMap NO_MAP 0 0 reflectionMap NO_MAP transparencyMap NO_MAP ReflectionColor 1 1 1 1 reflectionStrength 1 } } If you need more help, just let me know.

Poser will find the texture maps anywhere in Runtime if you don't write a full path. All you need is

textureMap ":hand.jpg"

The quotes (") and the colon (:) have to be in the right place.

It will? I didn't know that - but what if it finds another (wrong) file with the same name?

I'm just passing on what I read in another post here. I edited a MAT pose file so all the maps were called like I showed before, and it worked just fine for me. I haven't tried it with two textures with the same name in different folders. I would guess that Poser would use the first one it found with the right name, but who knows without trying?
