i dont think i totally follow, but poser pz3's will save the material info on files...... also, as far as mats go, YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST download mat pose edit from the free section. it will save you tons of cr2 editing work. that utility makes it a snap to create (and save) material settings..... (honestly, its one of the best things around here 2 get..... i dont know what id do w/o it....)
