Thanks for all the suggestions! I will be experimenting with them and will post my attempts ;-) I'll check out Geep's tut also....by the way, whatever happened to him? The jacket is Vicki's combat jacket from Poserworld - my texture. The pants are the V2 catsuit, my texture, and the skis and poles are from Evanara, my texture :-). Oh, and the ski boots are a reworked version of the rollerblade from 3d Cafe, which they have given me permission to distribute in free stuff, so just as soon as I get the darn things so they texture right (I did something funky and had to monkey around to get them to work right) I will have them up in free stuff.
