Have you tried Paint Shop Pro? I have version 8 but am all at sea with
it. If you can do the textures in that, perhaps you'd be kind enough to
do a tutorial for those of us that have it.

I have Vue 6 but I doubt I could produce the same kind of results as you
have. Still, nothing lost by trying :-)

Cheers,

Chris,

I use a couple different applications to create the mapping objects,
namely
Poser 7 and Vue 6. Though you can achieve similar results with DAZ
Studio(available at daz3d.com), which is free. The content used to
render
the mapping objects is a different story. There is a great deal of free
content at DAZ3d.com, Renderosity.com, and many other places. However,
human
figures are usually pay items only. In some cases these are given away
free
with the intent that you'll buy a lot of clothing for them from the
various
marketplaces.

As for the maps, people use different ones. Many folks use a combination
of
mapping apps like Dundjinni, FM, or CC3, and Photoshop or The Gimp
(which is
also free). I also use an app called TextureMaker (not free, but not too
expensive, about $90 US), which creates seamless textures of any
dimensions.
I have yet to really explore the possibilities of TextureMaker, mostly I
just use the random texture function and keep the ones I like ;)
