rotfl oh you guys are too much. then I would have to promote my dog as the um creator of the art and I don't want to be his agent hahaha! I'd recommend a image editor also. I bought Paint Shop Pro 7 and now I've upgraded to Photoshop. but you can also find GIMP for free. lots of choices, however a image editor will help with creating or modifying textures, sizing images that you render in poser etc. good additon. bunch of free 3d modeling applications to get your feet wet if you decide to create your own 3d models. then there is 3d landscape applications like byrce or Vue4 for landscapes, teragen is free and still around also. addons for poser? haha I added on lots of expensive software to the cheap poser, and am hooked. but it all started with poser and freebies for me, and balooned from their.
