how can i create new clothes for Poser without using any special softwares???

That's going to be difficult. How are you going to create the texture template? Poser can't create them. You could model the clothes in Poser, but it will be brutal since Poser isn't really a 3D modelling program. It's a layout/render program. What am I saying? You'll need "special softwares" to create new clothes for Poser. You can use free software, but at some point, it's going to require something other than Poser to create the new clothes models themselves and something else to fix the UV mapping and save out a texture template.

ok, so it would be enough if i have an uvmapper, an cr2editor, photoshop and a lil software to create textures?? :-D And than??? do you know any good tutorial-site to help me create my own stuff???? Thanks

If you just want to create textures for existing clothing items, all you need are UVMapper Classic and a paint program like Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, or The GIMP. You might also look at scourge's MAT Pose Edit in Free Stuff if you'd like to have MAT files to automatically apply the textures.

Renderosity has a Texturing forum you might find helpful, along with forums for Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, and other 2D paint programs. RunTime DNA has a texturing forum, also, although it doesn't seem very lively at the moment. And PoserPros has both a clothing forum and a texturing forum.

UVMapper is essential for making undistorted texture mappings and creating texture template images. There are other programs to do this, but this one is excellent for the cost (free for the non-Pro version). You can use a CR2Editor or a text editor (if you know what needs to be done). If using Pro Pack or Poser 5, you can do most of the work there in the Setup Room and with the Joint Parameter and Hierarchy Windows. Photoshop will suffice very well in creating the textures. I use it for creating texture maps all of the time. Just open the texture template saved with UVMapper and create the color, transparency, bump, etc. maps as layers over it. Save that for editing. Then you can turn off certain layers, flatten, and save each texture map as an individual image. PhilC has one of the best tutorials on making clothes for Poser. It is not online, but a CD that you can purchase here in the Marketplace. Here's his weblink: PhilC Designs Ltd..
