I want to use an umbrella in a poser scene and color it with blue and yellow stripes. I had one umbrella that I downloaded from somewhere called umbrella.zip (2/6/00, no author). The zip file contains a file called UmbrellaTexmap.jpg. I thought I could read this file into PhotoShop, paint the design I wanted, then load it into P4 as a texture map and have the design I wanted. However, the UmbrellaTexmap.jpg does not correspond to the prop. I found another umbrella at the Props Guild by Trimax. This is not the umbrella above, but would be adequate if I could paint on it. Alas, it does not contain a texture map at all. Can someone please help me to get this to work?

Try using UVMapper to generate a template that you can then paint on in Photoshop. You'll need the umbrella as a obj.
