Re: Text Editing Pz3 Files
-----------------------------------
That's a good idea, Tormie.  I didn't end up going that route since once I reconstructed the lights and reloaded the werewolf from the Poser library I was basically finished except for renderings, but your idea might have saved me the trouble of also starting over with the camera angles as they probably would have still been correct in the import.

I forgot to mention earlier that I tried your idea about deleting all the lights from an empty scene and importing the faulty pz3 to get the lighting back.  Unfortunately it didn't work (the lights were still in a big clump that couldn't be adjusted), but it was a good idea to try anyway.

Although I reconstructed the scene in question and am finished with it now (actually I put a close-up render in the gallery area), I am still interested in hearing if anyone has ever tried to text edit a pz3 file to remove a scene element or character.  When I get some time I will try this myself just to experiment, unless anyone already knows things just don't work that way.
