Thanks... I will. Hopefully I'm not alone on my quest for this issue.

I been rattling my brain in the middle of the night working on a texture for my V3 character. Then working on the bump map. I hope to post an image of this and see if I can get some insights.

I have Corel PhotoPaint, though it's not as popular as say, PaintShop Pro or Photoshop 5/CS8. I got both PS CS8, but never use it, for its complex way doing layers (in my opinion).

In order to make it a bump map, I was recommended to make the texture greyscale. On top of that, work on the lips and eyebrows to make them lighter (like Daz's V3 maps). I was actually stumped with that matter. Now w/ P4 [now Artist], you can make a bump map through a jpeg, but with a long file size -- aaaargh! :)

But, I'll see if paint program forums can give me some input.

Thanks Plutom...

Have a good Easter Holiday.
