Great tutorial here on how to use UVMapper and Roadkill together. I've done this tute...very easy to follow and gets really good results. There is a link to Roadkill (free) in the tute. Be careful to download the one the tutorial recommends.

Also, Wings3D does decent UV mapping as well. I believe Blender does too, but I can't vouch for that one ;o).

Wings will let you do uvs on a .3ds file. I'm not sure what you mean by the texture looks "blurry" in Poser 7. Did you make the template big enough (and therefore, the resulting texture)?

Just for clarification, what you create in UVMapper are the uvs. The texture map is what's created after you've painted something on the uv template :o).
