Subject: adding comments inside poser files

Does anybody know what (if any) format is allowed for adding comments inside .pz2, .pp2, .obj, etc... files? Since ReadMe files often get lost or thrown away, I'd like to add author and copyright info directly inside files that I give/sell.

In Poser files, the most common way of making a comment line is with the double-slash as in the C language: // Copyright (c) 2004 Ockham In OBJ files, a pound sign is more common: # Copyright etc

Note that if you use "//" or "#" for comment lines in a Poser library file the lines begining with these characters will be striped out if the file is resaved to a pallet from a Poser documment.

If you need to preserve text through a resave, a better idea is to add it as a material:

 material This is a copyright notice.<br></br>                {<br></br>           }

The if I remember right the maximum length for the text string (including spaces) is 60 characters. An advantage of using this method is that the copright notice (or what ever) will be displayed in the Material Priview drop down menu of the Surface Materials window.

That's an interesting idea. I like that. I also discovered today that if I used the // in a pp2 files as the first several lines P5 said it was an invalid Poser file. But if I stuck them after the initial opening brace then it worked OK.
