Hello all, long time no speak ;)

I've gotten back into making textures again and I wanted to put some together for poser.

I've been told that I should make them "Material Files" and not "Pose files" (mat poses I guess is the tech term)

to dumb it down (cause truth be told I'm dumb when it comes to this stuff)

I want to make some textures and save them IN Poser, so when I bring in say a prop and want to apply my own seamless texture to it, I just go to my libary, click on the Materials tab, and go to my folder, find my seamless texture and click and viola it appears on my object.

first: Is there any tuts / walkthroughs on how to do this?

Or second, what is the "idiot's guide" to do this?

Will I need any 3rd party tools, need to edit files? etc etc.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Creating MAT files in Poser is easier than you think.  Load your figure/prop into Poser, enter the Material Room and manually dress it with your texture.  Unfortunately, you will need to edit each material zone to apply the textures.  Include any nodes necessary.

Once done, click on the add icon at the bottom of the Poser Library (+ icon).  A new panel will appear asking whether you want to create an MC6 (material collection) or an MT5 (a single zone material).  Select MC6, then select the material zones the new file will affect.  Give it a name, click ok and you are done.  Load a new figure to test.

Yes indeed it was MUCH easier then I thought it would be,  a freind of mine walked me through it and I've now created my first set of 60 materials :)

(Oh and I just needed MT5 as these are seamless "use anywhere needed" materials)  now I'm going to play around with them and get them as good as I can get them and re-save them.
