This would be a helpful thread, a list of Helper apps small applications that speed up or make easier doing things in poser and or transferring to or from other programs. As well as what the heck they do in simple English. I have often come across a thread that mentioned some arcane program but I didnt understand what it was or why I might need it. So I thought Id start the ball rolling with a couple of my favorites. UV Mapper / UV Mapper Pro http://www.uvmapper.com This program does many things very well but its basic use is to create templates to texture (paint stuff onto) 3d objects (for figures that would be the skin for clothing it would be the fabric pattern) the classic version of the program is free. the more advanced Pro version costs $50.00 It is worth every penny. There are versions for both windows and Macs. Grouper http://www.renderosity.com/freestuff.ez?Form.Contrib=CastIronFlamingo&Topsectionid=0 I just found out about this free program in a previous thread. And I already find it indispensable for converting OBJ files to Bryce. O.K. here goes. Anyone who has ever rendered poser figures in Bryce knows what a hassle it is to group a complex figure with clothing and props in order to texture and transmap it properly. Often for me it is the most time consuming part. But what this program does is allow you to organize the meshes using a simple drag and drop tree format, and then converts the groups into single meshes making the texturing process much easier. It even imports the original unconverted JPG bump map Unfortunately not the transmaps though youll have to load those separately in Bryce. There are many other great programs (such as PBoost, morph manager, etc.)and I hope others will pick up the ball and run with this thread. Perhaps it will be worthwhile enough to go on the tricks and tips page.
