Hi Tofu. Top 3 (re-skinning): The correct term would be "texturing" ;-) I have a German version of P4, so I don't know the exact names of the menu topics. Try to figure it out: Note: Vicky has two separate texture maps, one for the head and one for the body. You have to apply them to each respective part. Start with the "body", because there are only few elements to supply with a texture. - Load Vicky into the pose room - Select the "body" of your Vicky - Open the "render -> surface material (or so)" menu. Or use "CTRL+U" - Uncheck the box reading "... apply to figure" (or so it reads). - From the "Material" drop down menu select "SkinBody" (or any other part which belongs to the body like, "Toenails" or "Fingernails" but not to parts belonging to the head like, "lips". - Use "Load" under "texture map" to locate and load your new "skin". Maybe you have to select it with the drop down menu. - Proceed until you're done with all the body materials, of which Vicky has quite a lot. - Finally: Press OK I hope this helps a little. Willy
