I guess I should have jumped in here when I uploaded my MAT Pose Applier "Test" version to the Free Stuff section. As some of you have discovered, the "Save MAT Pose" button is disabled, which is actually why it is labeled as the *TEST* version. The FULL version has been on sale in the Marketplace for a while now. I apologize for the "bad shortcut" issue and it will be fixed shortly (possibly by the time you read this). As for some of the comments: --"Has anyone played with the 10meg program in freestuff. It is such a much larger program than anything I've seen, and with a title like "test", it gives me pause." 1) This is the *TEST* version of my MAT Pose Applier program (version 2.2) for sale in the Marketplace. The large file size is due to the fact that this is the full "installer". 2) The word "test" means that it is an "evaluation" version not that it is a "beta-test" version. If you like the program, please purchase it at the Marketplace. --"I testted this for for virus and it seems clean, but MatApplier is definitely in the beta-test category." 1) Of course the program is virus-free! 2) Actually, the program has been on sale for a while now and it has been fully tested. Version 1 (and even Version 2.0 had their bugs and glitches, but this version, 2.2 has has fixed those issues.) In fact, the number of satisfied users is growing with every purchase. Can I ask what you mean by this comment? --"Here's a screen shot, kinda rough around the edges, but might be useful." And I'm not sure what this comment means- the screen shot (above) is only the "Basic" tab (where you can select and apply one texture for the entire figure). Have you clicked on the "Advanced Tab" screen to see the more detailed Materials Editor? Have you read the readme file? --"I guess the obvious question then is..does it create a reliable MAT file?" The obvious answer is, yes, the full version does create a "reliable MAT file". For example, I used my program to create the MAT Poses for the two Tron characters (available in my Free Stuff) and a number of other artists will be using it in both their free stuff and their Marketplace items. As for the comparison between my program and CR2Edit- my program is a full-fledged, MAT Pose-only program. CR2Edit is a full-fledges, CR2 editor/ MAT Pose/ etc. program. My program is $20.00 and upgrades/ updates are free. CR2Edit is $50.00 for a full version and $15.00 for updates (the last time I checked their website- the prices may have changed). I don't believe either program is a direct competitor with the other- they both do their own thing. And not to jump on top of anyone, but ALL of the information about the program can be found in the readme.txt file AND on the product's page in the Marketplace (the link can be also be found in the readme file). I apologize for the "short cut" issue, but please do not "trash" something if you haven't read the "manual" or have no idea how to use it. And as I look at the above-list of posters, I notice that **NO-ONE** (yes, *NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON*) sent me an e-mail (or an IM) asking questions about the program. I suppose this means that it is easier to complain about an item than it is to ask the artist/ creator for help. --John
