Interesting trick. I might have to try that. :) The figures are all mapped the same, but their shapes change the placement of the vertices. This is good because figures like the Freak have a larger polygon area than say Hiro. So if you took a Hiro texture and put it on the Freak there would be lots of distortions on the body and the face. Hiro's body shape and face are as opposite as Unimeshes could be, except for maybe Aiko to the Freak. That would be even scarier! Places where a stretched texture would are most noticable are the eyebrows, imho. I hate icky eyebrows. ;) Hiro and Aiko stretch M3 and V3 eyebrows really bad on the face (they look like they're in a state of shock, lol!), so it's better to use textures made just for them for them (or UTC transfer the textures to A3 or H3, or edit them by hand) to avoid that bizarre looking wicked witch type eyebrow shape. It's very unmanly looking on Hiro too, imho. Make sense? bB
