Let me see if I can help you. Most 3ds models don't have UV coordinates assigned to them. This is why the model remains white when in Poser. What you need to do with these is export the 3ds model as an obj file out of Poser. Then get the latest copy of UVMapper by Steve Cox. You will have to load the obj into UVMapper and play around with the types of mapping until you get one that you think you can paint in a Paint Program. Takes some work and I'm still learning how to use the program. Once you have it all set the way you want. Save both the new obj and the texture map. Take the map into a paint program (most people use Photoshop, I recommend Paintshop Pro6 because it's easier to get started in). You'll have to paint the map with the textures you want (clone brush is good for a lot of texture map making). However, it you don't want to go to all that, once you've mapped the obj, you can bring it into Poser and you should be able to get it to take textures. I may have left some things out. I hope not. But at least I've given you a start. Liz Pope Dreamspinner Inc.
