Tools for Poser Texture Maps

Video Transcript

JOHN CARSTARPHEN: Hi. This is John Carstarphen for Expert Village. Applying customized image maps to props and figures in Poser is a great way to change the look of things and to give your scenes a really unique flavor. But making those texture maps can be kind of a challenge and when you go to setup a new texture, it helps to see all the geometry of the item that you're texturing. So, to help with that, many content creators provide templates or seam guides to show where to put what part of the texture. And here's an example of a typical seam guide. Not all Poser items come with templates, though. And using the original image maps as a guide, while it's better than nothing, can be really frustrating. There is a utility that was developed to setup mapping data on polygonal structures to help in creating texture maps or image maps and it's called UVMapper. It's a free program or a free version of it can be downloaded here.
