Wavefront .obj & UV maps...
marvine:
Okay, I don't have SimPE installed at work (thank god!!) and can't check that, but I wasn't even aware that you could choose another format than .5gd when right-clicking on the file... To me the regular way to export in a format different from .5gd is click the export button in the plugin view of the gmdc, and then choose the format in the drop-down list.
Oh, and are you aware that LithUnwrap (free) can load any obj file and and save the uv-map in any size (I choose 2048x2048 then resize in Photoshop for anti-aliasing) - and it also has a preview of the model on which you can refresh the texture between edits, very fast and convenient for seamless texturing.

Mon Dieu! I am an idiot and you are totally completely awesome for putting up with my silliness and for taking the time to gently point out the obvious to me. Of course, you are correct :) Now I want to stick my head in the sand, but at least I can finish my project in time :D
I just downloaded LithUnwrap last week and will give it a try now that you've solved my little 'mystery'. I did not know that it did previews as well. Thank you, Marvine!

Hey Billy,
If you need any meshing help, I'd be glad to help out as I can make pretty much anything from clothes/hair to objects.
Which 3D programs do you use besides Bryce? (I use 3ds Max and Milkshape).
If you would like, we could schedule an online conference where I could guide you. If you can't export SimPE meshes in any format, I suggest downloading the latest version and install Nvidia DDS utilities if you haven't done so already.
Take care,
*hugs*
Franky :)

Lol, from the resource list it's "extract". "Export" is from inside the plugin :D
