Melanie, I really congratulate you at being able to use Poser like that. It was what I hoped to accomplish with Poser and was unsuccessful. The Poser graphics have a bad habit of going off in a direction separate from anything I'm writing (due no doubt to a lack of discipline and ability on my part in both graphics and writing). I think it is true that, for writers, visualizing characters into reality is part of the process of creating stories. To me, doing a graphic is like creating a scene in a play. Because I'm not an artist, I tend to think in terms of drama rather than art design. And drama requires emotion, and emotion requires a connection to characters that have some dimension beyond height, width, and depth, so thinking of the Poser characters temporarily as real takes no effort. Do you ever wander over to the Writer's Forum? Some of the discussion here would be of great interest to that group as well since many of them are both artists and writers.
