Hey there ... I was wanting to do a few Mat poses and I have the basic concept down by editing the texture references from other daz's mat poses but I am not sure on how to make the icon in library correspond to what I am creating. I know someone else asked something similar but I can't find it. Thanks!

On Mac, I use ResEdit.

I am on a Mac too but I am just not sure what line of code I am looking for in the 47 bazillion strings of gibberish :)

Do you mean the picture thumbnail? If so, for Poser 4 or PPP? Jim

Yep .. the thumbnail. I am on Poser 4.

Create the image you want to use as a thumb and import it as a back ground. Save something (it doesn't matter what) to a library using that back ground(with the prop/figure/etc moved out of frame), naming it something similiar to you MAT pose file so you'll know what it's for. Run the file you just created and your MAT pose file backwards through MacConverter (ie "the Export to PC" function) making sure the "delete resource fork" option checked. Trash the orginal file you just create (but not the .rsr!!!!) and the .rsr for your MAT pose file if there is one. Rename the remaing .rsr file to match the name of your MAT pose file - run those two files back through MacConverter - and volia! It's actually pretty easy once you get used to doing and doesn't take an excessive amount of time.

Thanks! .. Backwards rsr-ing .. didn't think of that... Much easier than trying find the line of code S
