Thank you all, really ! I said "ugly" in opposition to "very beautiful" or "supermodel"...I did not mean ugly in the sense of looking at the person and going away terrified...I should have said "ordinary"... To buy anything related to Poser is out of question now (did not I mention I was a massage therapist ? I got to eat and pay the rent first... :-)) )...sorry for those who put forth the easy "buy it !" fix... Amazing, the warmth of your answers, given the fact that I answered some little questions expecting to be hit hard by those die hard "NVIAT" fans... Magnets, I will surely give a try sometimes when the case asks for (angst, angst...is there any sure way to CONTROL those #%#@&?%* things)... Texture maps seem another effective way to achieve some results... I'll get out the models out of the moth balls to play and tweak them a little... Again, thank you for your time and effort answering. PurpleHayes
