Hi StormChild69,

The procedure you are referencing, is if you want to create a UV template from an existing model.  You don't need to map out V3, as there are several good UV maps out there- SnowSultan's being one of the best.  All you really need to do, in PSP or PS, is to copy the template to the clipboard.  Next, in a NEW file the same size as the template, paste the image as a new layer.  Rename this layer as template.  Next, copy and paste different pictures for the skin, eyes, etc on different layers.  Dodge, Burn, clone, to infinity.  Once you are happy with how it looks, turn the opacity level of the template layer to zero, and merge layers down.  Save as a jpg, and now you have a texture map.  If you need more help, check out Syyd's texturing forums at RDNA.  She has a step by step setup for a V3 texture creation spread along several threads.  I hope this helps? -Starkdog
