How to Create a Hedge Prop Using UVMapper Classic and Poser

If you are a fan of Poser then you have probably considered making your own props, but maybe thought it would be too much trouble, or too complicated. The fact is though that just using a freeware called UVMapper Classic and Poser you can create your very first 3D model. While 3D modeling can be a bit daunting at first, it really is not all that difficult to create simple models that can then be turned into props that you can use in your Poser renders.

In order to keep things simple I have chosen to show you how to create a hedge prop for those renders where say you have a mansion, or house in the background, but not much of a yard, then this hedge prop could come in very handy.

You will need to go here to download UVMapper Classic before beginning this tutorial, and of course you must have Poser. If you also use Daz Studio which is a freeware 3D art program from Daz then you should also be able to download the completed prop to that if you choose once you've created it.

Here is how you can create a hedge prop using UVMapper Classic and Poser.

Step 1: Open UVMapper Classic. You do this by clicking on the little icon that should be on your desktop now that you've downloaded the program and clicking on Run. The nice thing about UVMapper Classic is that it does not eat up a lot of hard drive space.

Step 2: Go to the File drop down menu and choose File, New Model, Box. You will then get a Box Dimensions box. Leave everything alone except for the dimensions and change Height to 3 units, Width to 5 units and depth to 2 units. Then click OK. You will then see six squares laid out. These are the six sides of your hedge. The reason they are laid out this way is because UVMapper is primarily used to create texture maps for 3D objects, although as you're about to see it can be used to create simple 3D models as well.
