I'm not sure I can justify spending the money either. I guess the only reason I can think that I might want to convert a V3 texture to V2 is the clothes thing, but I don't use all that many clothes anyway, I usually paint alot of things, and not having many outfits for V3 has forced me to work on my painting skills, so that's a good thing. Dark Whispers application is absolutely wonderful and very easy to use, I tried out the demo ... although I wasn't able to fully see if it worked properly, since the demo places big ugly red "DEMOS" all over the map. You raise a very good question about the backwards mapping thing Dave, I wonder if anyone has tried it.
