I have BodyPaint 3D,and love it. Even with the advantage of doing realtime texture work on an unwrapped mesh,I find it very hard to recommend such a program to most people. They are very specialized apps with a high price tag ($800.00-$1500.00),and have a bit of a learning curve. Truth is,for Poser work (especially figure textures),PSP or PS along with UV mapper will take you as far as you want to go. For your "fitting" problems,I find working with a standard template as a background, kind of inhibiting. What I do is take the template into my image editor....promote it from a background to a layer. I then zapp it with this free elimate white filter (link). What remains is just the wireframe on a transparent layer,that can be used on top of your work. You can change the black color of the wire frame to a different color (like yellow or red)to make it easier to see both texture and wire template at the same time. Hope this helps.....have fun. SWAMP
