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..

Lots of questions. I'm not very good at creating Poser clothes, but there are those here with tons of experience and knowledge to get you over the bumps. BYS
