Does anyone know of software that will allow you to create your own texture templates in tif or other format? I ask because I would like to map different textures from one file onto a model in Poser 4. For the default models, the metastream team used texture templates in .tif format. I was wondering if there is software that can do this. Thanks!

Steve Cox' UVmapper is what you're looking for. Do a search for the URL in the web resources section. -JH.

Not sure what you are asking. Poser 4 now takes image files in whatever format (TIF, BMP, JPG) so you can convert the texture files format in a seperate image software or not. I paste things from map to map by cutting, sizing, positioning with opacity reduced, and finally pasting (usually in darken mode if not default mode at full opacity). This way you can also just take scanned imagery (magazine etc) and place them where you like on the standard default texture which you then save under a new name and load in Render/Materials. If you want to create an entirely new template with elements mapped diferently than on the standard templates you use UVmapper. There is also a cool thread going a couple pages back about using "make perspective map" to place poly groups on UVmaps in nonstandard configurations (to shift seams etc.), this also uses Cox's UVmapper.
