Quote - Ah hah, I see what your first problem is.  You do not turn the figure into anything, leave it alone.
Load Alyson and go to the material room.  See the image_map with AlysonBodyNG?  It's that map that you want to load into Gimp.  This is how you do it:  Open Gimp, it should have a Browser.   Browse to C:/Users/Public/Public Documents/Poser 8 Contents/Runtime/textures/Poser 8/Alyson/Alyson-and there they be.  Select AlysonBodyNG and import it into Gimp.  Now as soon as that is done, save it under a new name so that you don't hose up the original.  We will stop there until you tell us if you are successful before proceeding.  Jan

 

Ok it's imported into GIMP. Now what? o.o
