I feel really red faced...waiting this long to ask...when a Poser package comes with BOTH Pose Library - MAT files to apply textures and Material Library files to apply the textures... WHAT is the difference? Just what do the material library files DO that is different? 

Am I to use the Material library files for things I would render in firefly and the MAT pose library ones for Poser 4 render engine?

If both do the SAME thing then it is redundant to install both...and yes, I know some packages will come with ONLY "material library files".... so I would watch out for those...

I admit I use the Poser 4 render engine STILL most often because it renders hair and especially EYELASHES properly.... Firefly does beautifully on many skins, but then the eyelashes look clumpy.

Anyway....been wondering since poser 5, and am now using Poser 6.3 exclusively... (not getting P7 at all, and know it is a different animal itself).

Thanks for not laughing and any clarification you can give.
