Yeah. jpgs are always a little lossy. It 'bugs' me that people who give out textures zip up jpgs and not bmp's or tifs. Of course who am I to complain on something for free. :) But I always notice the colors are dithered or splotchy and I can't get the same detail I see in their renders. I for one would be willing to spend the extra minutes in download time to get a zipped up bmp/tif over a zipped up jpg. On the increments of 256 in the size... That's interesting. It wouldn't suprise me. But it is odd that they chose a size of 950 for the tif's on the poser CD. I'll try making a new UVmap in UVmapper. Yesterday I finally got it to line up right by accident with the same pattern as the ones on the CD in all of painter 3D, Poser, and UV mapper. So if I can remember what I did to get that I'll make a new larger template and try and work from that. 2048 sounds good. Extremely huge so it should map great. I've got this old colored pencil drawing from the 80's I did of a super heroine character of mine from an RPG (vilains and vigilantes) and I want to use her for the 'hostess' to a super hero website... So I need to make a Poser character. A good opportunity to learn a lot.

Truth has no value without backing by unfounded belief.
