On the texture question, the textures are applied but dithered during posing so you don't spend an hour waiting for the figure to move 1 degree... but upon rendering all the details jump out at you... Posing... what I do is try to pose them as if they had a real skeleton I.E. who do you know that can rotate their wrist without moving the forearm? Try posing the figure first then loading and comforming clothes... they do tend to rip after being conformed.. I've seen tubs showers etc... but cannot remember where.. but the link IS on the right... Kinda gives ye an excuse for some surfing ) I think most of us use a combination of downloaded poses and self made ones... depends on the need I guess... I hope this helped a bit.. Wizzard
