The content CD which comes with Poser 4 has the uv maps for everything EXCEPT the P4 formal dress. Symphony did a remapped version of the dress which is preferred by many people because it is cylindrical rather than flat (only 1 seam to match). Seam guides for most of the figures have been done by Snow Sultan over the years (check under Free Stuff). A "seam guide" is the flat uv map for the figure which has colored areas along the edges to make joining them easier. This is essential for clothing with patterns or fancy border designs, but is also very helpful for skin textures where you might want a tattoo or makeup or even "painted on" hosery and gloves. The P4 figures were probably recommended to you because the heads are on the same maps and it is easier to keep the overall skin tone the same. Hope this helps, Carolly
