Hello! I know that in MAT Poses for figures, you can just start the group with the word "figure", and then the MAT Pose will apply to any figure at all (of course, it still has to have the proper material names for the pose to really work, but that's not important!). I also know that if you start the group with "prop" followed by the prop name, that you can make MAT Poses for props. However, what if you don't want to specify the prop name, so that a MAT Pose could work for any prop much like "figure" works for all figures? I tried just saying "prop", but that gave me an error. Any ideas? Is this even possible? Thanks a lot!! Sorry if this has already been asked. Aaron

Since props must be parented to a figure to work, they function as a bodypart so to speak.

Maybe that's a factor...

Maybe! I'm not sure, though, how to use that to create what I'm looking for. What I'll have to do is look at other MAT poses, and see if I can find one that deals with both props and figures. I've found MAT poses for props, but unfortunately they all put in the prop name. I have the feeling that this just isn't possible. At any rate, thanks so much!! Aaron

There is a thread elsewhere that addresses this issue - it recommends using a "Null Figure" (a figure without any geometry) and parenting your prop to that figure) I don't recall the exact method, but search the board for "Null" and you should find it.
