Hey, that would be cool to make new textures :)

As far as what is involved, I guess it wouldn't be all that much.
I would probably just take a look at the textures they already have in the 
Textures folder and see what sizes they used and like that and kinda go from there.

Those too were donated from some nice persona as well, so you see, it all goes around :)

And I sure found out something last night, I pretty much know squat about Poser LOL
The reason, so far all I've been using it for is what the name says, Posing objects.
I've never once tried to use most of the other features, namely making an actual scene in there.
I spent the whole rest of the night till nearly 3am just trying to learn how to make proper 
lighting and make that lighting work with my textures, boy was I lost LOL
I just wasn't used to working with making texturing that way at all, not the nodes part of it, 
but kinda everything else, as I work with nodes in LW and in Vue and others.

But, finally, I started to get results that I actually was trying to get from the start and this ended up 
being my very first little Poser scene sample, all just to show that you can use Ivy Gen with Poser LOL

Most of the problems that people have been asking about here so far, those were all the easy parts to me.
The scene part is what was killing me LOL
And I had to end up making my own textures from the ones they supplied 
cuz things kept coming out backwards when I went to load the Ivy into Poser.
So I had to redo a couple of the textures (I eventually figured out LOL) to get things to work.
So, here's my very first scene I ever made in Poser, so don't laugh too hard LOL

Anyway, I would love to see what textures you come up with?
I've thought of textures samples such as Money and things so you could have a money vine growing ;)
Would be fun for something, I'm sure, not realistic, but fun either way :)

OK, well, thanx all and I'm glad people are enjoying the tutorial too.
I also am glad I posted that thing in a few different forums, cuz I might othrwise never 
have known about some of these other issues that have been brought up and 
this all will be great info for the updated stuff I'll be adding to the tutorial.
