just wanted to know what kind of stuff is actually saved in the pz poser files. does poser save all of the things that are used or just where they are located.

It saves everything needed to recreate the scene. In some instances it will show the file paths to included, geometry textures etc. In other cases items like props and figure jointing detail, the full information will be stored. You can open a PZ3 file in a text editor and enjoy some interesting reading :)

this depends. IF the original files had the geometry contained within them then the geometry will be contiand within the PZ3 file. If the original file was using a referenced link, then the PZ3 file will also use the referenced link. Now textures are slightly different as they are always referenced links and never have the actual texture file contined in any of the poser files.
