Hi Getting GOOD textures on your project is IMHO 90% of the Prop/object. When i look at work of Stonemason my eyes start to water.... How on earth does he make it so great... I've seen other great things here aswell. So how does man make these this so good. Is there a tut anyware ? I have seen some tut's but in the tut they ripped of images from games and other peoples work and that is a no,no to me. Is there a way of working that makes it easyer and more realistic... If you know .......... Thnx Chris

I don't have all the answers and no tut, but I can give you a few hints: Make your object well, paying attention to detail when you build it, next make sure you make a good uv map and eliminate stretching if possible, start with a good texture that has detail. sometimes one object may take several textures, you mark off your uv map for things like trim etc, so that you put some realism in your map that will go on your object. Take your time and test, test & test until you are happy with it. Hope this helps some...

Nouschka has a texturing tutorial in her store

Plus Helen has a whole forum at Poser Pros on Texturing.

There are lots of tutorials and help at this Yahoo group, which was set up by Poser members:

AsShanim also has a tutorial at his site which is very well done and gives lots of helpful tips.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.

heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi

And, of course, there's always the "texturing" forum, here at 'rosity. To be honest, its not that well frequented, and I haven't explored it that much myself, but I noticed (quite co-incidentally) today that there's a link there to a tutorial for texturing using Photoshop. Alas, I "marked all as read" before I noticed this thread, so I don't have a link... Cheers, Diolma

Some tutorials that I've found usefull,none of them are related to Poser,then again I dont think I've ever followed a tutorial specific to texturing in Poser(other than Ajax & others shader tips).

for my textures I try & work as much as possible from photo based textures,also get your self a good digital camera & a paint program that supports layers(Photoshop is unbeatable in my opinion
