I will try asking this question once more. How do I apply a .jpeg image to a prop such as a cube surface in Poser6? Thanks for any help.

"How do I apply a .jpeg image to a prop such as a cube surface in Poser6?" You use the material room. See screensots on this post. But remember if you want to add a picture to the whole cube, say for example turning it into a crate or cardboard box. You need to map the prop/figure using software like UV-mapper or lith unwrap.

Thanks a lot. I just could not find the Image Map application. I have it all under control now. Cheers Ray Van Sickler

Ummm... yes, but you don't need to for something as simple as a box. You can do it in Poser via the grouping tool... 1. Select the box. 2. Change display mode to "Hidden Line". 3. Click the grouping tool. 4. Click "New Group". Give it a name (front, back, etc.) 5. Select the polys of a surface (then rotate around to be sure you haven't included any polys you didn't want...) 6. Click "Assign Material" (near the bottom, under Geometry Functions"). Repeat steps 4-6 for each of the surfaces (with different names of course). Exit group tool, go into mat room, apply different images to each surface..:-)) Cheers, Diolma
