As I understand it, what some of us call "templates" are the UV Maps or Seam Guides for the characters or props. Most are available from the distributor of the product or by using UV Mapper. These "templates" provide a two dimensional view of the geometry on which textures can painted. I used the seam guides from Daz3D for Vicky 3 to create the Basic Texture for the head and body of Vicky that's available, or will be soon, in the Freebies Area. I hope I stated that correctly and clearly, if not I'm sure someone will correct me. If I have stated it improperly I apologize for my mistake. Good Luck and Happy Rendering!
