Poser doesn't have the option to embed the textures with shader so it subscribes to the textures instead. As CFC noted above, you have the option to save them internally (embedded) with the shader in Carrara. However, if several of your shaders use the same texture map, then saving them externally to a folder is a good idea to keep file size down. That's what I did with my own shader set. You just have to advise folks that they will asked to locate the texture map when using the shader. They can put the folder containing the textures anywhere as long as they know where they put it! Carrara, unlike Poser doesn't have a "scheme" of where to locate the textures. You can create new folders from within the Browser which is what I usually do since most of my shaders are for specific jobs. That way, I have a custom Browser folder per project. Mark
