hey gang... trying to make one of those backdrop screens like everyone is playing with... I have the screen created in another program... I export as a OBJ and load in UVmapper... to get a good flat UVtexture, I use Cylindrical on the x axis and it lays it out nice and flat... but sideways...???? When I import it into Poser, the texture is applied side to side instead of up and down??????? How do I get the group to rotate in UVmapper??? Or correct this simple problem... PLEASE HELP.... Thanks Cujo!

it has to do with the axis it is aligned on. just go through and try each of the axies X, Y and Z. Edit | New UV Map | Cylinder it's in the list of radio buttons on the left

heyas; if its mapping on the correct axis, but is just facing sideways, you want to rotate the model before you map it. look under the middle menu for rotate. you probably want to rotate it 90 degrees on one of the axes, but i dont know which... you probably have to experiment. then re-do the map. (note: you may need to switch the mapping axis after you rotate.)
