you know. I know why I don't use poser that much anymore.

cos for me, it's crippled

* I can load, rig, I can use the cloth room and the hair room...*  but I can't texture. that room is locked off from me..

oh I can use the mat room to apply bitmaps. but to do anything more , you need to be a programmer or have a PHD or to use someonelses work, something that is a personal no no.

so.. whats the point in using poser for a crap job, when in other apps I can just go "metal, steel, this map with it" and hit render....? where I don't need to program the texture from base units using a programming language, I can just do it?

*I'm spending more and more time in Sketchup now. I've not started Poser in a month. rendered in poser.. I think that was 2 months ago.. something with textures on it.. over six months ago.
