See! Ajax has an answer. The floodgates open. Wallow!

I am into my third...uh, ...tasting of a fine Merlot and...uh,.. am certainly not in the same league as most of the people who regularly dwell here, but your problem is not a cause for serious concern. Cruise the "Search" mechanism with "key words", blah, blah..and you should find a host of answers to your query. This whole site has all the answers you need. And if they don't..:-)..you have set them to a task that will benefit all of us. Welcome and enjoy. p.s your machine sounds more than adequate to the task. Many of us have...HD..Memory..envy?

Any luck with the neck frill? I remember seeing (and using...and losing) a female figure called "Harlequin". Anybody remember this? It had a neck frill/ruff that was much fuller (no offense to Cooler). Thanks for the wonderful forums and such.

Thanks Jaager. I tried what you recommended, on another machine of course, and it seemed to work with no problems. If anything comes up later, I will post it ASAP. Thanks again.

Ok, please bear with me as I attempt to say this back to you. (1) I create my 3-item object in Poser. (2) I export as an .obj. The items are linked but each has its own individuality as far as tex mapping goes. (3) I import into Bryce. It asks me where the maps are. I tell it. (4) When imported, I can select each group (hat, head, base)and recolor them (?). Question: Do I have texture maps for each item or are they all on one template? When do I create the maps? After exporting in .obj? If I want to change the color/material of a tex map, how do I do it once the object is imported in Bryce? I will go to the Bryce Forum, but I also appreciate your help. Your patience is Biblical. TREE

So I put the hat on the head, put the head on the "pawn" body, then export the jolly trinity as an .obj. Then I import into Bryce. Is each item an individual that needs its own tex/transmap? Where do I find and/or create the texture map to use in the paint program to smartly color the object? Is UV Mapper involved somewhere? Thanks for your prompt reply. You truly rock. TREE

Oh my god, yes! It's why I started putzing with 3D stuff in the first place. I'm especially interested in a full body clown suit. Like a baggy jump suit, one piece with maybe frilled cuffs. The hair (like Larry of the Three Stooges or Cheezo from the movie CLOWNHOUSE)is also a great idea. I've been to a bunch of clown sites to get ideas but have little talent actually making what I need. Any help you can provide will add you to my pantheon of gods.
