Yup, You can even look at the bottom of their feet! (This is handy if you are posing two dancers.) There are huge archives of stuff at various locations, so I'm glad that you are getting organized early. I'd also suggest finding Dr Geep's tutorials (he calls them primers) and working from the earliest ones forward. He uses lots of pictures and humor so even things like wave deformers aren't frightening. By the time you get up to date, you will be comfortable with most of the 3d art conventions and going to a higher end program such as Lightwave would be a much smaller step. The metaballs plug-in for Poser is coming soon and will be really neat. Carrara and some other 3d programs use metaballs as a way to build more organic shapes. Following Dr Geep's tuts you can build an aquarium and then add some wierd little fishies of your own! :) Of course we'd still need to drop by DAZ and the various Marketplaces to get the realistic and nicely rigged models and their clothing and stuff (you wouldn't believe my castle collection), but another tool to play with is always good. For somebody who claims not to be artistic, you are coming along well. The big thing is vision. If you have a goal, whether it is to bring out an emotion or portray a concept, it makes it a lot easier to make a picture. So have fun, be creative, and don't hesitate to ask questions BEFORE you get frustrated. Carolly
