Hi Folks,

I'd like to learn how to create and modify textures (faces, skin, clothes etc). My basic question is, what is the most effiecient way to do this?

It doesn't seem like there is any paint ability in Poser - just mods to materials with various settings.

I've looked through a few apps I have access to. Here is what I have found so far:

Cinema 4D (C4D) R12 Riptide plugin - using Poser settings, imports, has texture errors on render, does not seem to save changes made in bodypaint to Poser.

Interposer Pro (C4D Plugin) - does not have any way to export ? I CAN use C4D to save the individual material changes as jpg and reload into Poser, 1 body part at a time. This works well.

Poser Fusion (C4D Plugin) - same results as Interposer Pro

Photoshop - directly modify the Poser jpg. Can do, but since the view is distorted, this does not seem practicle. (Work arounds?)

Carrara 8 - Assuming I could ever figure out how to effectivly 3D paint there (?), I'm guessing that since you can't save as a Poser pz3 format file, you would still be looking at saving a jpg.

So, thus far, I am looking at saving out 1 jpeg at a time and reapplying it to my models after modifying in BodyPaint.

Is there a better way? How are the pros (the ones selling kits) doing this?

Many thanks!
