You may have noticed that each time you use PICK, the texture
panel updates a small image representing the texure. This
is infact the unwrapped texturemaps that you are painting
on each time you pick the object off the canvas.
As you can see, it is using the head's UV co-ordinates to
apply the colour to the un-wrapped mesh. The image shows
areas that represent the eyebrows, ears, tongue, teeth etc.
-Use TEXTURE>EXPORT and save the texture as a PSD or
BMP.
-Resize your canvas to 2048X2048 in hte DOCUMENT panel.
-Select FLAT Material from the MATERIAL panel
-Import the PSD or BMP back into the document
-Use the 2D Brushed to paint the Tongue and teeth in appropriate
colors as required.
-Use MRGBZGrabber to grad the whole canvas and convert it
back to a TEXTURE.
-Export the Texture.
You can now use this Texture in Poser on the DAZ figure
that you started with. WHat you may find is that you need
a bump map to make the head more realistic.
OOOH! TextureMaster can help there too!

| MAKING
A BUMP MAP FOR POSER OR LIGHTWAVE |
 |
So
you now have a texture map that conforms to the UV co-ordinates
for your chosen head.
This section shows you how to make a BUMP map or DISPLACEMENT
map that matches your Texture Map.
|
 |
|
In
the TEXTURE PANEL press MAKE ALPHA which converts
the texture into an Alpha greyscale.
Then use MAKE TX which sends it back to the Texture
panel.
If your head is still in EDIT mode you can apply the greyscale
to the head as a texture.
You can now repeat any of the steps on this page to (DROP,
PICK and B+F) to add dark lines, pimples, creases, spots,
noise, etc.
Once complete, export the Texture and use it as a bump map
for your DAZ Head.
