OK. I did all the right things with help from several good fairy's here! I conformed the sweater! I was so proud of myself! *lol* Now I wanted to see it with one of the textures I'd made. *grin* OK.... loaded the texture. Nope... nothing showed. Deleted the RSR file. Tried again... NOPE.... Searched the net, - found how to edit the CR2 file. Did that. Nope! By this time, I had stopped pulling MY hair out... (see the poor P4 kid! for who got the blame!) Finally around 4 this afternoon, - it dawned on me. Hmm... PhilC told me that the Teddy I posted here as my FIRST try, was in-side out. Could that be the case with my sweater?? OK... back to UV mapper, - saved inverted... Et, voila! *just sitting here slapping my forehead, repeatedly telling myself DUH!* BUT, - how do you clever guys immediately "See" that a model is in-side out??? Britt

so that maybe others don't have to walk around as hairless as the poor P4 kid... (I still have SOME hair left). I hope I don't bore you with all this. Maybe I should make a tutorial... All my hopeless newbie mistakes! lol Britt

Congratulations you did good!!! Sharen:-)

Wow! :) Thank you, Sharen! I know I'm pretty good with textures. I LOVE "photoshopping" (uhm... I guess that's a girlie thingy... we all like shopping this time of the year! :) I'm still wondering though... how do you "see" that a model is in-side-out? I've read one of your tutorials (the chest), - and it simply said that you "knew" that you had to invert the model... Exactly HOW do you know that? Britt .. hanging head... knowing that I DO have impertinent questions!

This looks great! Congratulations!

to reach your class. :) Pats on the back SURE feels good though! :) Britt

please do post a tutorial for idiots like me ;) i have asked questions before but unfortunately- i haven't gotten a response. maybe everyone's email was full that day- or maybe i need to change my perfume ;P shrug

Me I am still learning, can't model for tuppence, so this is brilliant. My kids want me to buy it for them????

Well first you know because depending on your software you can see it. If you import it into poser directly with out any mapping or any of that work, you can see how weird it looks before it is rendered, that is how I know. It looks warped some how. Hope that helped you, probably not, your really have to examine your work in all different camera angles. Sharen

Cheryle, go to this link and you should find a tutorial for Poseable objects etc., hope this help you. Sharen

Wonderful texture! I have had the same problem and wasn't sure what to do...thanks for asking here. As an old PSP'er, I love doing textures, too. Now, are you going to share this one?? Just call me pushy.

Usually a model that has reversed normals will look semi-transparent until you render it in Poser. You might not always be able to tell from looking at it from straight on. So rotate the camera a little to get a 3/4 body shot, and it should be pretty easy to spot reversed normals. ScottA

Sharen, i just read your tutorial, and it's really nice and easy to understand. Very good! Now, you mentioned a texturing with UVMapper tutorial you were going to write... i know, in your copious free time, LOL... there must be something out there that talks about assigning materials to a poseable figure. Yes?

Yes, and I will address this in about 2 hours, gotta get my work done first.....Sorry, the tutorial isn't done yet, can't seem to get it all done. Sharen
