I want to change the little guy to the actual color of the material it says it is. How do I do this, as if I load it it has to load onto something.

And then that something say a square would be loaded. Or am I wrong.

Just wanted to check before I tried so I did not stuff up.

The explanation you have in the picture is pretty old, it applies to Poser 4 which used .rsr thumbnails. This made it somewhat complicated to create missing thumbnails.

Poser 6 uses thumbnail in .png format. This means that you can easily render any picture you want in .png format and use it as a thumbnail. Just make sure that the size is 91x91 pixels and that it has the same name as the file you want it to be a thumbnail for.

Example: You want to make a thumbnail for a character you have saved as a .cr2 file. The character is named mycharacter.cr2.
Render a picture of the character according to your liking with a render size of 91x91 pixels. Save it as a .png file with the name mycharacter.png and put it in the same folder as the .cr2 file in your runtime directory.

The thumbnails do not need to be 91 x 91 pixels, up to 120 wide will fit in, which I find useful to get a face plus full length shot into the space. Also the height can be much larger if you want thumbs that are easier to see.

If that's a material thumbnail, you can just apply it to something, then save the material to the material room again.

Poser isn't very good at making thumbnails, but it does make good ones for the material room.

It's kind of odd to have the shrugging man for a material, though.
