HI. I'm new to Daz studio. I have bought  the "Morphing fantasy dress" for V4 and I have found some great textures for it, but now I'd like to make some of my own. Only problem is i can't seem to find help in getting started.
I know nothing about doing this.I dont' know a lot of the technical lingo. And I don't understand the process.
What I do know because of creating things for Sims 2, is how to create 3D objects in "Milkshape",
make UV maps for them with "UV mapper",
and then use "Paint shop pro X" to make textures for them.
So I dont' need any lesson on how to do any of that.
What I'm lookin for really is How do I start? If i want to make a texture for the MFD, how and where do I find the materials I need to start it?
For instance;  with Sims 2, I'll use SIM PE to extract certain files from the game, then I can use them to base my texture on, and I know what I need to do to form a package to work in the game.
That's the part I'm not getting for Daz.
Most of the info I find is just about how to create the actuall texture in a paint program, and assumes you have some kind of clue what you're doing when it comes to doing all of the rest. I don't I just can't seem to get the "texturing for dummies" version I'm looking for. LOL
Please help!
Sue
