Well, glad I read your post shadowcat. I missed that he/she has Pro Pack. I don't have it either, so that may be the missing link LOL. Here's a quick texture demo. Notice that I made the template (these will be on your Poser CD or you can run the .obj through UV Mapper utility to get template or change the mapping)the background. I added a layer to paint on. In actuality, I use oodles of layers when I'm making a texture. BE SURE you save with a new name after you merge all layers. You can also see that I made the layer I was working on fairly transparent so I could see what I was doing--I just go back and forth with transparences. You'll get the knack after you try a few. Well, yes you have to be a 'member' to post in freestuff--you already are if you have a name here and can post. So--that's it. YOu have to have a web page to link to though. HOpe this helps. I'll be out of town until next Wed. Have to go pack now. Others will help you if you get stuck. I don't have pro pack, so you'll need others help for that. Just post and ask--everybody is helpful.
