Adding more textures to a single texture figure

I have been fooling around with Andy 2

and decided to use him in a render

but i want the head to be a different texture, than the rest of the body

Now i must say...i use Carrara to do posing and rendering,and poser to build the character and save it

i can probably achieve what i want in Carrara..but can't save it as a cr2 like i can in poser..

and that is important to me,

besides being able to use it in upgrades of poser and Carrara..even Daz Studio..i would also be able to tweak more things.

Is there a way to do this without the use of skulls and candles and calling on loas ,or using some other voodoo,to help?

    There are two ways you could go - use the grouping tool in Poser, or the Polygon Group editor in DS, to add a new material zone or create a mask image (black where you want to have one texture, white for the other) and use it to control a Mix brick in DS or a Blender node in Poser that combines the two materials - though how well any of those will import into Carrara I don't know.

    Sometimes the regrouping is easier on the UV map than on the actual figure. I use UVMap Pro

    Thank Both of you

    Richard,your method for poser grouping tool,worked like i wanted

    all i had to do was select the head..there was already a head part,and just hit the material button

    it was quick easy and fast


    and no problems when brought into Carrara

    here is a test render from carrara

    with andy,and a custom morph i made last night with the Poser Morph Tool

    I was going for a "Droid" thinking he was a human..so his paint job gave a metallic human skin on head,and metallic "country boy" clothes

    @ Richard

    i just wanted an easy, straight answer

    and you gave one

    some people seem to go so far into the nuts and bolts, that by the time you realize that it's not the answer you needed

    you have just wasted hours and or days..with nothing to show for it

    i like the old saying

    Keep It Simple
