I recently upgraded my computer, and this time I decided to try and set up all my (numerous) Poser files in a sensible and easy to find manner. To help this, I decided to cull character files whose only purpose was to change textures and use MAT poses instead (and to replace some custom characters by adding the morph channels to the base figures using MorphManager and then creating MOR files for the face and body). With Poser Pro Pack, creating the MATs and thumbnails is easy. I bought the MK Scripts from DAZ. I use the whiteout script to change the figures base colours, apply all the appropriate textures, rename the figure appropriately (e.g. Dragon) and then use the materialise script to make a MAT file. Now for the thumbnail - set render options to render in new window, 91 x 91 pixels antialiased. Set up pose and camera then render. Now save rendered image as PNG over the top of the one created by the materialise script. Open P3DO and rename the MAT file and we're done. I've got about half my library done so far, and I'm steadily working through the rest as I either need them or feel too drained to try anything creative. - Mark
