Hi, all Great to see the last word's not said yet. Mocap: I merely said that the TEMPLATES for UV that you can get from BodyPaint are useless outside BP. As you can see in Mocap's post 12 above, the UV map is so fragmented that noone could make sense of it outside BP. Of course this is not true if the object you paint already has a nice optimized UVmap, as is the case with the official Poser figures. But try optimal-mapping a self-made object and you'll see what I mean 8-( PoserPro, you lucky devil: you're even more evil than JeffH ;-) Much as I'd love to, an amateur such as myself can't afford apps such as Deep Paint, let alone 3DS Max :-( My tools are Poser, Bryce, TrueSpace and a magazine freebie copy of Amapi (seems to be the arsenal of quite a few people on the forum). Maybe I should try selling something in the forums to earn some money for software - but to do that I need the knowhow to make decent UVs for my stuff.... ;-) Whines...I mean cheers, thip
