  Thats what I have done to get the UV. My problem is How to apply a texture on that UV so that the texture appears on the model.

  if the model is UVmapped, then when you import it into DS, select the model and go to the surfaces tabe and that is where you apply the textures or shaders

  You use the template as a guide for painting (or otherwise creating) a new texture file, then you apply it to the model by going to the Editor tab of the Surfaces pane, selecting the surface(s) you wish to apply it to in the list on the left, and clicking the micro-thumbnail/Daz logo next to the Diffuse (3delight)/Base (Iray) colour in the property list on the right, selecting Browse, and picking up your new map.

  Hi,

  I made a simple model in MAYA and exported it as an OBJ. Now I imported it to DAZ. I want to apply custom textures and Bump maps to it (various designs). How can I do it? I think I need a texture template creator from UV. I can see the UV in UV View Under View BY Nodes. 

  Just screenshot the viewport while displaying that UV view. That is your template. Or invest in UV Tailor.

  I think I did not put the question in the correct manner. I was doing everything correct and had no problems. I thought I was having problem figuring out how to apply texture to a custome made object. I know the steps where to apply texture. It was my brain what wasn't working properly. Anyways thanks for the replies.
