Hello everyone, a quick reply... Thank you sooo much for your advice...I'm not quite sure about the trick I'll use yet, but I'll tell you later. I have UVmapper and I use it when I can, but the way to get to the surface I wanted to edit was quite arcane. Thanks Jeff and gstorme. As for April, I have d/lded the P4V skin about a month ago from the freestuff, the option to use a vicky tex was considered, but technically, the other way around is a greater challenge (the image is the ultimate goal, but learning more on Poser can't be beat). And BTW, thanks a great lot for such a useful tool as "the skin" (I had bad mapping problems with it the first times I used it until I found I did not convert it correctly in Maconverter...most of the times the problem is sitting in the front of the 'puter... :-))) ) Thank you so much all...
