Click on Michael. Then on the drop down at the bottom of the screen is an option called "Body". Select that. Then to the side in the morph panel, you'll see a number of different full body morphs. One of them is Muscular4. You also might want to trun up the Tone Morph too (for a chisled body effect). Also check out the tutorial section here for beginners. There are some good newbie tutorials to help you along your way. Hope this helps.

When you got Poser, did you play with the stock figures that come with it before buying Mike and V3? I'm not saying anything negative toward you, but it amazes me the amount of people who have Poser and a Millenium figure but haven't the slightest idea what to do with them.

yeah i know...im really a desperate person...hehe..kinda bad but really happy i bought them though...didnt like the square people that comes with psoer 4 =) thanks for the help...gonnatry

Joster, search the freestuff too. There are a lot of custom charaters, faces, poses, and morphs (not too many yet for V3) however be sure to read the readme's as many do require extra (other clothes and stuff).

thanks igohigh... finally found the problem with everything... i was choosing Michael 2.0 P4 and i had to choose the other one Michael 2.0...it brings 2 michael models...dont know why but hmm k thanks alot

Oh my! heh heh!:) Not sure I should try this, but I think the P4 Mike is like an extra .cr2 that is proportioned to the male character that comes with Poser 4 (called the Poser 4 male). That way you can use the Poser 4 males clothing and so forth. I haven't paid much attention to it, but I don't believe it has the same morphs as the one called Michael 2. If you happened to purchase a texture map when you purchased Michael (these are also sold seperately), you will find another Michael in your DAZ People characters folder, called "Michael Map" :) At least that's the case in Poser 5.

Yep. Thats is. Mike 2 P4 is the Dork's body, Mike's head, and he takes Mike textures. The Dork's clothing fits him. It gets more confusing as you buy the various Mike variations: Boris, Musclebound Mike, Grim, Gorn, Mikey, Low Res, Werewolf... the list goes on and on, and each one is different. I've got a whole folder just for the variations on whole body morphs.

blushes Thank you...thats cleared up something that this newbie was wondering about...the Mike/Vicky P4's that are in my system...I was never sure of waht the difference was..

Freyfaxi, There is never stupid question... except unasked ones. For group or crowd scenes, it helps to have lower resolution characters in the background, and the basic Poser characters have so many more clothes and props available to them, so of which cover most of the body anyway. An armored knight, cloaked wizard, or lady in Victorian dress aren't going to be showing much except their faces... in these instances, use M2P4 and V2P4 to save rendering time and file size.

Thanks for those suggestions - to be honest, I've not played around too much with the human figures - my main interest in Poser lies with the animal figures...but I'll get there eventually :)
