I forget, it doesn't do Mike 2 right now, will it have the same benefits or be able to convert our Mike 2 textures to the new Mike 3 that will be coming or is it to early to say. Sharen

"will it have the same benefits or be able to convert our Mike 2 textures to the new Mike 3 that will be coming or is it to early to say." From what I understand Sharen, Mike 3 and V3 share the same UVs. I don't know if that will change, but they can share textures between the two already. If the UTC can convert Mike 2 textures for V3, it will have M3 built in already :o) Laurie

Ha! Don't quote me on that tho, because I don't have any first hand info. I've just seen previews of M3 (like neftis with her hair) that have V3 male textures on them. Makes me think they share UVs. Laurie

This is neat! I'd love to use all my M2 textures on the V3 male. And if M3 and V3 share the same UV Map, it'll be REAL sweet. All those V3 male textures I bought would look great on M3 (I hope).

From what I understand Sharen, Mike 3 and V3 share the same UVs I'm not at liberty to comment on that just yet. I am aiming at having these 2 plugins available just before the end of the month... cheers, Steve

They are lookin' good! Gee, if V3 and M3 can use the same maps - that would be great!! LaurieA I hope you are right!!

Release still look good for end of August?

I think Neftis, or MallenLane in a post to her thread, said that the M3 early version was unmapped so Neftis just did a quick-and-dirty fit for the V3 mapping so she had something to show. Doesn't mean they won't share mappings, just that we don't yet have any real info.
pdxjims posted Fri, 15 August 2003 at 3:00 PM
...time to ask about the new mapping for M3. I'll start a new thread for Steve to catch (grin).
Spit posted Fri, 15 August 2003 at 3:19 PM
I'm not planning M3, but with this I can convert any V2 or V3 texture for Aiko!!!! This is really exciting!!

So this would mean conversion abilities between all supported figures? Currently V1/2 and V3 adding: Michael and Steph So that it would be possible to convert from Michael to Victoria 3 or 1? Just checking to make sure :)

This sounds like a blessing wrapped in a confusing enigma. For those of us who are "poser challenged," will this convert V3 to V1 or V2? Same with Michael.
DCArt posted Fri, 15 August 2003 at 11:44 PM
The Universal Textures converter alrady converts the textures for V3 into textures that will work on V1 or 2, and vice versa (V1 and 2 textures convert to work on V3). This is an update that brings Mike and Steph textures into the picture now. Pretty amazing piece of work! I loves it!

Hi all, With this plugin added to the current functionality of UTC, you will be able to convert textures between any of the plugins - in any direction... cheers, Steve
cedarwolf posted Sat, 16 August 2003 at 7:39 AM
Ohhh...cool! This is a "gotta have" for those of us on a severly restricted budget. If you can successfully convert in any direction, as I understand it, that makes all those beautiful FREE textures available. Thank you for your hard work and for keeping the rest of us in mind when you develop goodies.

In the thread in the Product Showcase, you said this was going to be one package (and even a single plugin). Are we looking at two purchases, or one purchase containing two items? Please note this isn't a rant, just a query (I can do a rant if that helps ;-)). Scratching head here and wanting to know what to expect. Speaking of expectations, any hint on price/s?

Any chance for Koshini? There are scads of Vicky textures I'd love for her. Samil's stuff comes to mind.

Oo I can't wait.

PJF: Although Mike 1/2 and Stepahnie's uvmaps are VERY similar. They are not the same (Stephanie has a better mapped chest area, and a few other minor things). For this reason Stephanie will require her own plugins. I will be putting both plugins into the same package as I feel it wouldn't be fair to charge for both when they are so similar... Due to the enormous amount of development time these plugins take, I do have to charge a bit for them to make them worth my time - but I haven't settled on a price for this pack yet. cheers, Steve
