mcjTemplate

for DS 1, 2, 3, 4, 4.5

Introduction

Since Daz Studio version 3, we can preview the UV maps of objects in the scene.

But this display's resolution is smaller than what is needed for precision texturing.

mcjTemplate lets you export those UV maps ( aka Templates) as high or very high resolution images

the version of the script for DS4.5 works with DS4 ( tested on 4.0.3.47 Pro )
