Poppi, I in no way intended that the 'utilities' I mentioned were for 'tubing'. Like Lyrra and Sharen said, I find one that gets me half way there. I have hardly finished an image with "boxed" poses and lights, almost every one gets altered and sometimes, Spring Garden, for example I pose from scratch using the fine tips that Schlabber and others have provided (also some excellent writings on the subject at RDNA Tantrikk!). Lights are my worst subject, one I am working on now began with one of Traveler's sets but as I have been working it into the scene there is now very little of Traveler's settings left in it. It's kinda like using a drawing or photo to get things started and then mold it from there. And I have spent as much as a month working on a single image; attempting my own textures, lights, poses, and even some crude modeling. But for me, it's mostly hobbie - any aids to get to the end is highly appritiated, and have (and do) love your work as well, ever since the old Fairy Woods day right up to your Pirate Collection I just purchased! ;p Blue Skies & Happy Rendering!
