Here's my problem. I do a lot of animations where I use animated transparency settings to make things fade in and out. (I have PPP.) Unfortunately, Poser doesn't retaing these settings whenever I save, so each time I open it I have to go through the figures that are changing transparency, click on the "animate" button and adjust the transparnecy settings for each material all over again. This is maddening. Is there a Python script that would adjust those settings in one fell swoop? I also posted in the Python forum, but it doesn't seem to be read very much.

I just tried this out, and whenever I save to .pz3 or .pzz, the scene file retains the animated transparency settings. When I open the file again, it works just fine. What version are you using?

Poser 4.03 with the Pro Pack and the 3rd update that goes with it.

I took another look, and the Animatable option on the materials panel doesn't stay checked when I open the file again. Yet, strangely enough, the fading transparency still works when I play back the animation from the Timeline. Odd.
