Well, you'll know real soon if it is a bad template--it just won't fit and you'll get seams, mismapped areas, etc. THEN--you'll have to create a template with UV Mapper. Most of the things on the CD are correct--think maybe one of the tops for the P4 Woman and maybe the nude male as someone said. However, UV Mapper also allows you to map the model differently also. For instance, a dress I did awhile ago from Steve Shanks was mapped planar (2 flat pieces that just look like stretched out front and back) and a cylindrical map worked better for that particular thing. BTW, you can't hurt a model with a bad template--it may just mean more work for you. When I remap something, I paint different parts of it with different colors, save it and apply it and see how the map works. That's saved me some time. If I like how the map works, then I do the 'real' texture.
