Although most outfits here at Planetvixens comes with 105 different textures, there may be times when you'd like to use your own textures with the outfits.
In this tutorial, you will discover how easy it is to use custom textures on Planetvixens outfits without the need to spend hours painting template files or messing around with photopainters.
Lets begin with the basics, most outfits here at Planetvixens uses a different form of UV Mapping known as tiled UV Mapping. This means outfits at Planetvixens are not dependant on template files for texturing and you don't need templates or a photopainter either to texture a Planetvixens outfit!
All it takes is just seconds to change the textures of Planetvixens outfits! In this tutorial, I'll be using the Aurora Dreams II outfit - available at the SciFi Outfits section.
First of all, load any Planetvixens outfit into the scene and use any one of the 105 different MAT files to give it a texture. In this example, I'm using the 'Red 15' MAT file on the Aurora Dreams II outfit (picture below)
Next, browse through your texture collection for a texture you'd like to use. All you need is just a square texture file of any size. For this example, I'm using a small wood texture file (picture below)
Once you've found the texture you'd like to use, enter the Materials room and apply it to any of the texture materials on the Aurora Dreams II outfit - I recommend applying the new texture to the 'bvhbodycolor' material. If you're using Poser 4, simply select from the top menu Render>Materials
When the Surface Materials dialog box pops up, just load the new texture into the 'Texture Map' box (see picture below)
Once done, render your scene and you'll see your custom texture applied to the Aurora Dreams II outfit (picture below)
