Using UVMapper
o¤oOo¤oOo¤oOo¤oOo¤oOo¤o

| First of all, if you don't already have this
handy little tool, you should download it! Basically, UVMapper
generates template maps of .obj files. You will realize that, not only
UVMapper is handy
for Poser but,
it is also handy for any .obj file you create or freely
download over the internet to use in Bryce
or Vue d'Esprit. |
| Although UVMapper
is useful for many other things, we will only concentrate on one of its
virtues in this tutorial.
As an example on how to obtain a template for an .obj file, we will start
by generating a template for Posette's (Poser's
standard P4 female model) bikini top . After you've downloaded and installed
UVMapper (follow
enclosed instructions to install), open it (Fig. 1). |

Fig. 2 |
| To generate a template for the bikini top, click
on "File". |
| Click on "Load model". |
| Look in:
C:\Program Files\MetaCreations\Poser 4\Runtime\Geometries\Poser4Clothes\Bikini\BikiniTop.obj |
| Click "OK" on the next screen (Fig. 2). |
| Resize the window with your mouse so you can have a good look
at it (how much you resize does not matter). |
Fig. 3 |
| It should look something like Fig. 3. |
| Now, to save the template, click on "File". |
| Click on "Save Texture Map...". |
| In the "Bitmap Size" boxes, type "1000"
in each. Leave all other boxes unchecked. |
| Click "OK". |
| Save the "BikiniTop.bmp" file in any
folder you wish to keep your templates in. |
| Click
here to download the "BikiniTop.bmp". When the screen opens, just
right-click and save to your hard drive. |
| Remember, you can use the same instructions to
generate a template of Posette's or Victoria's clothes as well as any other
object or prop to which you have an .obj file for! |
