Skill Level: Beginner / Views: 3088
This tutorial describes how to use UV Mapper Classic (free version) or UV Mapper Professional to create templates for models that have multiple texture maps. Also includes several images that show which materials appear on each texture map for all Poser 5 figures, as well as DAZ figures (Victoria 1, 2 and 3; Michael 1, 2 and 3; Millenium Kids; and Millenium Baby)

You'll find that it is actually pretty easy to create templates for these models. All you need is UV Mapper Classic (available for free at http://www.uvmapper.com ), or UV Mapper Professional (highly recommended, as the improvements in features are totally worth the registration fee!).
You should be able to make templates for any Poser character that requires multiple texture maps. The main thing that you must keep track of are which materials go on which texture map and the tables at the end of these instructions tell you which to use for the above-listed models.
The following instructions describe how you can create templates for Judy (the Poser 5 female). Though the screen shots and instructions are given while using UV Mapper Pro, you will see very similar results when you use the free version of UV Mapper.
