Hello there,

Forgive me if this thread already exists. I couldn“t find nothing about. Also, I am sorry if it is a too basic question. Map textures used on Poser (for Victoria) are very similar to ones used on SL. I am wondering if I can use texture from poser characters on SL. If so, how I can add this new skin?

Thank you very much, in advance.

Poser characters have a very different UV mapping scheme than the one SL uses on its avatars. UV mapping is what determines how the textures wrap around the model and what bits end up where. The long and short of it is that there's no way to use poser textures in SL without doing a major reworking of them, in which case you'd be better off just making an original skin from scratch.
