heyas! sorry, but yesterday i hit 'mark all read' instead of 'post new message' and, er, kinda screwed myself up, there. (geeze, didn't know things would fall apart without me for one day!) this does not sound like a uvmap problem. it sounds like a poser being flaky problem. here's a quick test: in poser, import the new pants obj, and apply your new uvmap template to them. if they are visible and the map works fine, then you know it is something else. :) i have never seen a 'wrong facet thingydoodle' error before! i mean, i have seen poser stick all kinds of textures on all kinds of things in all kinds of wonky ways, but i have never seen it refuse to put a texture on. the rsr sounds like a possible culprit. also... this probably isn't it, but did you check the material settings for the transparency?
