Here you can convert between Poser 3/4 and Poser 5 types, or extract an MT5 directly from a CR2 or PZ3, or move directly to the full features of the main PZ2 and MT5 windows.

The MT5 window will allow you to change maps, highlight size, and material colors, with more features coming, and then save the new MT5 file.

This is the PZ2 window, with the MAT/MAP option clicked. Every sensible option is offered, and you can even save an MT5 at the same time. If you are making files for both P5 and earlier versions, this will cut your work load in half. If you have a lot of MAT's to make, there is a batch function. For bump maps, you can automatically change the references to the proper types.

There is even a tool to fix PZ2 files created by hand or some other utilities, where proper conventions are not followed. (Most commonly, NO_MAP lines are left in, thereby dumping maps a user may have applied). You also have an option to make such a file, for your own use, or even one that will dump ALL maps.

MAT/MAP files aren't the only type you can make...
