..... or at least an agreed standard keyword. This would hold minimal templates, with short readme's, for specific styles of Poser file that are often needed. Lesbentley's MinFig is an excellent example. Others would be a CR2 with repeated external OBJ, a PP2 with repeated OBJ, a CR2 and PP2 with ERC............

I agree.

Explaining a bit more: This would make it easier to answer some of the FAQs around here.... without having to refer people to a long tutorial on an external site, which may be gone or moved. Generally, when somebody has reached the point of asking these questions, they don't need a long explanation, just a good example to work from.

I hesitated for a long time before posting MinFig, I thought perhaps I would be laughed at for posting something so simple, that can be made in less than 5 minutes. In the end I got tired of saying "Take a poser square, convert it to a figure, delete the geometry reference". That, and the fact that Tguyus came up with a new use for this type of figure.
I also have my "PZ2 Templates" in the free stuff. Its in the format:
{<br></br>version<br></br> {<br></br> number <br></br> }<br></br><br></br>actor BODY<br></br> {<br></br> channels<br></br> {<br></br><br></br> }<br></br> }<br></br>actor hip<br></br> {<br></br> channels<br></br> {<br></br><br></br> }<br></br> }<br></br>[more actors here]<br></br><br></br>figure<br></br> {<br></br> }<br></br>}
This is another one I was always explaining how to make, it can be very usefull in conjunction with Morph Manager 4, for making delta injection poses.
Perhaps the catogory we need is not so much "Templates" as "Examples" or "Reference"?

I second this opinion. Poser pz3 has become a kind of 3D high level language with actually very little doc. This forum could fill that gap.
