Quote - No, because everytime the question comes up, those asking get told that they can use other programs to do it. I'm interested, but I'm just one of those lowly content users who likes to render in Poser and doesn't have enough brain cells remaining to remember how to use 5 or 6 programs at once to get to an end result. :)
anyone can use UVMapper to transfer UVs from one mesh to another, or from a .uvs file to a mesh.
the problem is that requiring users or your product to go to a 3rd party site, download and install an app, and then go through a multi-step process to import UVs, then resave the object, etc is - like i said - a deaths entence for any product. look at how crippled the sales of .pcf encoded meshes were because of this same problem.
if you can automate the process within poser using python, and the script is either made fredistributable with the products or is integrated into poser, then it will be a very viable tool.
it would allow a texturer to fix Alyson's UVs, or to take Vicky and recombine her maps into a more modern mapping that would be more suitable for full body displacements and procedural shaders, instead of the bloated and wasteful half dozen 4096x4096 maps shes using now.
