Adding Materials to the Library Palette

Poser offers the option of saving either single materials, or grouped material collections from a single figure, to the Library palette.

To save single material to the Library palette:

1. Open the Material room.
2. In the Library palette, select the desired Category/Subcategory that will store the new material.
3. Move the mouse into the Preview window, where it turns into an Eyedropper tool. Use the eyedropper to “pick up” the material that you want to save. The material settings appear in the Edit view in the Material room.
4. Click the Save to Library icon (+) at the bottom of the Library palette.
5. In the New Material Set dialog, select the Single Material radio button.
6. Enter a name for the Material and click OK. A square showing the single material appears in the currently selected Material library category/subcategory.

If your single material contains material layers, they will be saved with the material. To save a material layer on its own, see  Using Layer-Only Materials.
