Hi Sharen, I think I am seeing a pattern. It does not look like it has anything to do with where the texture file is located. I've copied it into the Poser5 textures file, and I've tried it where it is, in the Poser 4 textures file. For me to get the MAT's to work I have to: Go into Materials Room Select the figure (in this case, Don) Then double click on my MAT file. Then if I render I find that I have the new textures applied properly (except, of course, for the eyes). It simply will not apply a MAT for me from the Pose Room. Also, if I decide to change to yet another MAT while I'm in the Materials Room it will not make the change until I select a different Material from the drop down box. (It doesn't seem to care what material I select,Iris, Tongue, who cares, just as long as I make a selection.)
