Greets all

think "poser" models
is there a way to create one texture that will apply to an entire imported model taking in account all material zones?

I have a model which is very detailed and I need a fast way to apply the same material to every import to carrara.  I can do it one item at a time with saved ones..but we're talking 100 or so applications of materials.  I'd like to do it just once.

also

can you apply the SAME material to a model that has been imported via transposer or native importer?

the problem:
Carrara alpha channels suck (well, they do)
if however, you render a white glow for all models on a black background, you can get a great alpha which can be applied as a matte channel.

is there a way to apply this one material at one time to all models at once?
