Can anyone guide me to pasting bmp's to a poser figure in POSER 5 materials room? Any help is appreciated. I tried using UVMapper to take the texture map to Adobe Photoshop and paint in OR cut n paste the bmps' parts of images to the texture map, but the UVMapper couldn't give me a proper outline of the figure. So how am I suppose to cut n paste texture maps to a figure?

Well, I;m not sure about cut and pasteing texture maps. Normally you "load" them (open them) to a material. The Poser 5 manual explains how to go about this. Otherwords you need to save the map from photoshop as a jpeg, or other image file and then load it. This way Poser has a "real" image file to use. At time of rendering it loads this image and renders it however it is mapped to 3D object. It really needs an actual image file.

I was thinking of using a bmp image of another model, and utilizing that image areas to cut n paste body parts to Poser 5. I guess the software isn't powerful enough at the moment.
