I want to know how to create templates for items I have bought in the store. It seems like there are no more templates available with the items you purchase. This never used to be the case you could always could be able to get the templates along side the actual item in the download part of your account.
So if anyone has insight to how to do this please school me on it LOL!

I know there are uv mappers available but i will let someone more experienced give the information on that.
I wonder why they took away the templates. It had to be around the store change when the Product page changed. That is very irritating because I never downloaded them unless I needed them. I looked back even to older purchases and not one product I looked at had the templates...
There is a plug-in for that.

Has UV Tailor been updated to work with Genesis 8? It says it works up to the current model G3 ...
I can't see an UV viewer should need any information of the character, as it just has to give an UV map.
Personally I would export as an obj, and take it into another 3D application and get the UV-maps, e.g. Blender.
This is free and works on pretty much everything, though I can't speak for Genesis 8.1 due to how new it is.
