Which character are you using? And what have you done with its obj file so far? Remapping? Actually the P4 male is a Big Face. To go to Victoria style mapping will improve the quality of the textures, but it is a divergent trail. If you do a Big Face, are you prepared to face the following? All textures will have to be adapted or done from scratch. The adapted textures will need work to make their quality acceptable. ( The donor texture will be small so scaling it up will introduce artifact that will need to be repaired. - an editorial comment implying that most of the present textures are too small.) I am willing to do the remapping and nostrils, but I do not intend to mess with the actual skin of any male textures until Victor gets here. To this point, I have probably spent 2% of my time on a male figure. Perhaps either you or additional allies will be willing to provide a large enough library of textures to support this effort. I have been around for over a year and a half and seen similar efforts come and go. When you do a remapping, this is not a 'fire and forget' exercise, if you want it to go. It must be continuously supported. Are you willing to do this? If not, I advise sticking with just the morphs. What is available can use improvement and the available stock has no comparison to Posette, but with Victor coming, will it be worth the effort? My questions are meant as questions. If after thought, you say 'yes', then I will help. In any case, this is not a small business, where you lose your life savings if your enthusiasm far exceeds reality. Only time is invested. But still, I would rather you not spend mine frivolously. Jaager
