Travis for a specific model or just a T-Map of say Marble to use in another program? If its to use in another program I have done that. I create a flat plane apply my marble shader to it. Make sure it has nice even lighting. adjust the camera so that the plane is all you see in the frame and render. Clint

Ah, Got it. Here's how... Get Steve Cox's UV Mapper program. Its free and its a great tool. Learn it and love it. :) Export your model as an OBJ file from Carrara and bring that OBJ file into UV Mapper. You can create a blank Texture Map for the model using UV Mapper. My web site has a tutorial on Poser Figure creation. There is a module dedicated to UV Mapper. Take a peek at that. It should help you get a general understanding of UV Mapper and how it works. Steve also has some awsome tutorials on his web site. My tutorial has links to Steves site so you can get UV Mapper. I hope this helps you out. If not post back.

Thanks CCP! ;) They took a while to put together with all the screen captures. But I think it was worth it. I hope it helps members out with figure creation. Clint
