Ron, haven't you ever downloaded a PZ3 (Arduino's Eve for example) that has a figure, lighting, and two props (snake and apple) included in it? There's also a utility out there to convert a PZ3 to a CR2. Now how could it create a character file out of nothing but a roadmap? I actually took the time to look inside a PZ3. There's geometry data in there, geometry for clothing, geometry for hair, geometry for props. I also repeat my previous proposition that a multi-megabyte file has more than a bunch of file paths in it.

I tried this simple experiment: Loaded Posette, a sofa prop and the Alice Hair. I saved the PZ3, exited Poser and then moved Alice.hr2 and Alice.rsr, the sofa.cr2,obj, rsr and mtl files to a different drive. I started Poser and loaded the PZ3 file. It opens with Posette, the sofa and the hair intact as saved. Now that's one helluva road map, better than GPS.

A PZ3 won't store the standard geometry files, it references them just as a CR2 does - you're expected to have those. It also references textures.

I certainly respect your artistic abilities and your knowledge of Poser but I simply think you're incorrect on this.
