I was messing around trying to learn how to make new textures for some of the poser content that I have. I started with a pair of gym shorts. I had a leather texture and a denim texture. I tried each one separately by tiling them over the texture template. But when they get applied in Poser, there is stretching at the sides. The template is a front and a back view of the shorts. How do I eliminate the stretching? Should I remap the shorts and pull off the sides and rotate them so they are turned toward the front? I know UVMapper Pro has something called spreading facets. Is that what this is for? Kevin

did you find an answer to this? i'm having the same problem.

The stretching is caused by the planar map. There may be a way to use a planar map and lay it out some how so it will work, but I haven't found it. The planar map will work great for solid colors or for textures that don't have a pattern - like a sweater. But if you are using a pattern, then the cylinder mapping will work. I did have stretching on the sleeves when I mapped the shirt as a cylinder, but when I pulled them off and mapped them as a cylinder (from another angle) I eliminated the stretching there too. Kevin
