Does any one know if M2 textures work for M3? And if not the easiest was to get them to? I have just got the Muscle Maps from Daz for M2 as I couldn't find any good ones for M3. Damn they're good though!! Cheers people

I recommend the universal texture converter at Daz and the M2 and M3 plugins. As long as anti-alias is turned OFF the textures should translate almost flawlessly

Although I haven't had the time to try this, I imagine that anybody can cut and paste one map into another. Unfortunately, the M2/V2 and M3/V3 maps have been mapped very differently. M2/V2 cut the body like a toy model where the figure is sliced into a front half and a back half where there is a seam all the way around the body as the two halves are joined. M3/V3 essentially have their skins unravelled, split down the middle of the back. It's much easier copying a texture from V1/M1 to V2/M2 because both models had essentially the same maps with some rearrangements of where the hands and feet were located on the map. A simple Photoshop action could probably convert V1/M1 to V2/M2. Probably the same can be done between M2/V2 and M3/V3, but there's a little more work involved.

Turn off anti-alias? Is that how you fix Mike's eyebrows? The texture converter works fabulous, except for Mike's eyebrows... I have yet to get a decent face texture converted to M3 because of the brows.

that's ok the muscle texture I want to convert shouldn't have eyebrows

UTC is an excellent tool, you can even create MAT files with it. Its mad science that works well. Just don't use the AA.
