	by yannick on Dec 9, 2003 5:07:51 am [homepage] Thanks for the tutor. Could you give me the key for brackets [ and ] on MACIntosh ??

	by Deecey on Dec 9, 2003 9:13:02 am [homepage] Though I can't tell you directly (I don't have a a Mac), I may be able to tell you where you can find it. Hopefully you have an equivalent shortcut keys command that will tell you the equivalent. In UV Mapper Classic, choose Help > Hotkeys, and look for "Hide Selected Faces" and "Show Selected Faces." If someone can locate the Mac shortcuts here, would you be so kind as to post a comment? Thanks in advance! Denise

	by miden1138 on Jan 3, 2004 10:51:04 am [homepage] Deecey, That was absolutely the best Poser/UVMapper template tutorial that I have read! Thank you so much for making it very clear, concise, and easy to follow. Mike

	by Terrielee on Mar 23, 2004 8:53:21 am [homepage] Wow! Such an excellent tutorial! Thank you for sharing! :)

	by danamo on Oct 15, 2004 12:37:41 pm [homepage] I wanted to thank you for such a useful, well-written tutorial! I have been building fairly complex models in Wings3D and many of the tips you included here apply to mapping any 3D models, not just Poser figures. I also have Poser, so this comes in handy there too! Thanks, Danamo

	by duke39 on Oct 16, 2004 5:57:17 am [homepage] Great tutorial!! unfortunately I read it quickly and now that I'm back to take a better look I see for some reason we can't click to "next" and can't see the rest of the tutorial, My question was....there was some special function we had to do after saving the maps seperately, to save without the maps actually saving all jumbled back together, could you repeat that step please? Thanks , Cheers, Roger

	by MysticMind on Oct 16, 2004 8:55:50 am [homepage] You have to check the "Exclude Hidden Facets" option before you save the texture.

	by duke39 on Oct 24, 2004 6:21:33 am [homepage] Okay great!! Thank you very much!! Cheers, Roger

	by Seraphim_Studios on Aug 8, 2005 8:12:43 pm [homepage] brilliant, now i can make the templates, now if i could just find a tutorial on making the actual textures themselves id be set!

	by garyandcatherine on Feb 12, 2006 7:49:59 pm [homepage] Well written, easy to understand. Thanks so much for this tutorial. I just got UV Mapper Pro and your tutorial has been extremely helpful.

	by 4tops on Jul 26, 2006 5:14:37 am [homepage] thanks for detail&kindfull tutorial~!

	by brycescaper on Nov 29, 2006 3:55:06 pm [homepage] Seraphim, check out Mercy Too's tutorial on Mat Pose Edit 3, a free program that does exactly what you want- create the MAT files from jpg textures/images. Between these two programs you'll be good to go!

	by supergeek on Mar 5, 2007 6:50:10 pm [homepage] I have been trying for too long to figure this out. I swear I'm blowing you a kiss right now!

	by nikkis on Oct 14, 2009 2:51:34 am [homepage] Do you know of a mac version for mat editing?

	by zap326 on Oct 28, 2009 2:50:32 am [homepage] Hey Deecey, thanks a lot for this! :) - Even in 2009 (years later!) this tute helps get a basic understanding of using UVMapper to make templates. In my case it was for making some for Nursoda's cute characters. - Before your tute I just couldn't 'get it' with how to use the free UVMapper Classic. So a big HUG from me! :D --- Incidentally, if anyone needs to keep a copy of Deecey's tute, use the 'printer friendly' option link at the top of the page ( http://www.renderosity.com/mod/tutorial/index.php?print=472 ) and you'll get a single page that's easy to save off and read at a glance.
