I suppose creating a material of the paintings should do it but I thought I should check here first to save weeks of time. The images need to be applied to the backs of ladies from poser as well as an object like an umbrella.

The easiest way is make them a material. That's the pretty much the same as UV mapping. It's really the easy way to do it. To make the Q&D (quick & dirty) apply them to a simple cube first that is the same scale as you want to use them as. Your going to have to play with the applied settings lots to get it right on vastly different surfaces. Use bicubic for the art and faces usually works well on most surfaces but not all. Depends what your applying them to. Your going to have to play with the scale lots to get it right. You can also make the art alpha like the leaves work then only the art will be mapped and the underlying material will reamin untouched. Tricky though the blend has to also be a map of the alpha channel.

For the Poser people, the best way might be to use the art image as a seperate layer in Photoshop (or whatever you use) applying this over a skin texture file and make that layer about 50% opacity. I'd do this, because there will always be some color shift due to the natural hue of the skin. Otherwise it will look painted rather then like a tattoo. The next step would probably be to slightly fade the edges and then save the new image file. Apply the new texture in poser and see how it turns out. Go back and make any changes you see fit. When done, save the poser file and import into Vue. For the umbrella, I'd use UV mapper but this would have to be on a Wavfront obj. file. If you are using a Vue preset, you may be out of luck, but applying the image as a material might work with some effort.

Thank you. Few things are easy. At least they are more fun without a boss breathing down my neck.
