do i need "UV mapper" for "Andygraph -CYBORG IT.A.01 Mech.Head- PC" and what is "UV mapper"?

UV Mapper is available at uvmapper.com. There's a free and a pay version.
I don't think you need UV Mapper for this product any more. IIRC, you can put the texture together with Photoshop or a similar program. It is kind of a pain, but it's an old product, and that's how things were done back then.
To make the whole cyborg, you have to buy all four parts - arms, legs, head, and textures. You need the P4 nude woman, as well. (She is included with Poser 4, 5, and 6.)

But if you're using Poser 5 or Poser 6, you even don't need to use photoshop. A material shader will do this for you.

You don't need UV Mapper, but you do need a program to do the geometry re-encoding. Its based on the Victoria 2 mesh IIRC ( or I may be thinking of the Cyborg IT.A.02), and the geometry comes as PCF files. Theres an article at EFrontier (linked) that explains the process. I believe Andygraph explains it all in his Read Me. MCN

That's the other cyborg. The one linked to in the first message is based on Posette, not Vicky.

You need to recode V2 and V3 only with the Cyborg ITA02 and ITA03. The first version don't need that trick... but is still "long" to configure the whole figure.

Arrrrrgh,....yeah, and I was way off about the ITA02. Sorry. I used my faulty memory. Andygraph DOES suggest (strongly) using UV Mapper to do the encoding/recoding. Plus it comes with .UVS and not .PCF geom files. Man, my cranium was up my rectum :)
