Ok, I know I am a bit of a beginner here, but I cannot find the poser 4 skeleton textures anywhere. Could one of you good people direct me to the appropriate place. 

Thank you in advance.

I only recall that the daz skeletons had textures. as ya know, the P4 skeletons (additional figures) didn't come with textures.

the original P4 skeletons have no textures and their UV mapping is pretty sad as well (ie dificult to work with to get a good looking skeleton) You can use UV mapper to remap them and create a new base figure. if thats too dificult, then just pose the way you want, export as an obj. and remap using uvmapper for that pose. I had to do that on more than one occasion when first starting out.

Ack, that is sad. Thanks both of you for your replies. 

Mertext, is uvmapper another program? Like I said, pretty new to the whole editing thing, so forgive me if my questions sound a bit noobish.. but, they are, hehe.

UV mapping means you take a 3D model to pieces and lay them out flat like a tailor's pattern. You then save the model and an image of the flat pieces. You can use this image as the basis for painting a texture (in Photoshop, for example).

UVmapper is a popular program for doing this. A limited, freeware version is available.

Be aware that the early Poser models were a bit crude, and UV mapper can mess up the skeleton model - it did for me! But you can re-map the skeleton with a bit of work.

Excellent, a trial version is just what I need to see if this is something that interests me. Although, it probably will. Thanks again.

There's UVMapper Classic, it's free.

You can use a metal rust texture for the P4 skeleton, depending on the texture used the skeleton can look very nice!
