I am trying to remap the P4 Male for my new Chaney figure coming out soon. I did and used UV Mapper to do so (Great prog, btw, thanks Steve and gang!) I saved the .obj (yes, I backed it up and moved that backup file) Eliminated the .rsr for both .obj and .cr2 file and then opened Poser and tried to render with a new map BUT it looks like Poser is looking to allocate the texture like the OLD texture so its quite screwed up. I did everything correct (for all I know) and it happened again. I DID reassign some areas to be new materials and saved those changes in the .obj but the Materials Editor does not show them AND shows Materials that are no longer there (like the materials for the old eyes which I have replaced). What am I doing wrong?

Chweck the cr2 to make sure there are no groups added. A groupd basically adds the UV info into the cr2. Its like adding a prop.

How do I do that? When I open CR2Editor, what do I look for?

Look for a "GeomCustom" reference under the Head in the .cr2.

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking.  He apologizes for this.  He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.

Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below.  His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.

WAHOO! Thanks Mason and Cage! You guys should right some tuts on this wacky crap. I was near pulling my hair out. Thanks so much!

er... if you delete the geomcustom, you'll lose your groups. also, you'll need to replace it with the... well, look at the other body parts, you'll see. the storagewhatsit and the geomhandler thing.
