Plugins for Photoshop go into the plugins folder and should then show up on the filter menu. I'm not 100% certain what you mean by the 2nd question. Do you mean a programme to render 3D images in? If so, there are many many choices - just about any 3D programme that can import OBJ files can be used to render Poser figures. If you are on a budget, I'd suggest either Bryce or Vue. These will give you the option to create 3D backgrounds and scenery fairly quickly and easily. If you've more money available, try Cinema4D or the latest incarnation of TrueSpace. And, if money is absolutely no object, you could try 3D Studio MAX or (if you're feeling outrageously extravagant) Maya. Hope this helps Paul
