... I need to convert a texture graphic designed for one UV set so it can be used with the other UV set.  I need to move the pixels around on the texture map image (not a UV template, but an actual texture), so they fit into the new spots on the modified UVs, right.

An all Poser solution is to apply your source image to the ambient or (better) altDiffuse channel of the texture of a 'cloth plane' and apply magnets, masks and morph brush to rearrange the uv's as you need them when viewed by a top camera with long focal distance. Then render to get the new map.

In my freebies here there is an all-poser solution that applies the technique to morph V4 face textures to suit Project Evolution: face-texture-converter

It comes set up for that specific task, with some specific bells and whistles to match tone etc. so it looks more complicated than it is.

It takes some time to set up, but once it is set up for a uv conversion like V4->PE it can do any source image swapped on the source pane. 

I guess this is the "UV morphing" idea that was mentioned some years ago, in the Antonia thread?  A couple of people tried to explain it to me in private messaging, a couple of years ago.  I never quite understood.  [Laughing at self smiley would go here.]  Thank you for your link.  I will check it out.

What does it mean when one sees "Heads Up! This user's messages are blocked from your view." in a thread?  Are we blocking one another now?  Seems like a way to create discussions full of holes & gaps.  The internet has gone all pear-shaped, since the advent of these wander-phones.

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking.  He apologizes for this.  He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.

Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below.  His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.
