The figures that come with Poser already have UV maps, so MindsEyes doesn't have to make one of those. The UV map is, essentially, the instructions that tell Poser how to wrap a particular "sheet of paper" around the figure. There are several different kinds of "paper" that can be wrapped around each figure. Unfortunatly, these "sheets of paper" are also called "maps". In poser, the "maps" come in 4 flavours. The one you want is the "reflection map". "texture map" is the picture of what's on the surface of the figure. It's where you color the skin, draw the bikini lines and the freckles, etc. That's the kind of "map" that you see most often, in the Poser Store, in "Free Stuff", etc. "bump map" is really the "texture". As the name implies, it lets you make the surface bumpy, ridged, etc. On the bump map, you can add cords to muscles, buldging veins, dimples, etc. "reflection map" makes the durface shiny or dull. When you paint a "reflection map", you can paint wetness on different areas of the figure. "transparency map" makes parts of the figure partially or totally transparent. It's often used on hair, which sort of looks transparent in real life. Or on the corneas of the eyes. The maps are simply bitmapped images, and you can paint them with any painy program, Paintbrush, PhotoShop, etc.
