I won't bore you with my history or links to my gallery - I figure there's a way you can see that through my nickname. I've been gone awhile and am coming back, and I need some help.

Most of the recent gallery images you see under my name were done in Poser 4. I have Poser 6 installed now (out of date in more ways than one, don't criticise too much), and all of the figures/props/MATS/poses etc. I purchased from Renderosity over the years.

I want to try to recreate some of the characters I had enjoyed rendering in the past, yet when I do, it seems I am unable to use the MAT files designed specifically for individual pieces of a figure.

For example, I have a figure that will load perfectly in its default form, but it comes with a big number of MAT poses for eye colour, make-up options, and so on. If, once the figure is loaded, I click on a MAT pose to change the eye colour, the eyes go white, and the MAT is not applied. The same happens when I try to use a MAT pose designed for lip colour.

I've even tried manually adding the 2d image map in the MAT room to the sub-figure (eyeball/lips) and it makes no difference.

Is there something exceptionally simple I am missing?

Thank you for your patience and replies. Cherry Bomb needs to play again... :-)
