Taking over from Karen... Clothing for Victoria: There's a ton of stuff here, DAZ and at PhilC's site. Phil C may well be your man for sexy ligerie; he's produced some fine sets for V3, and they don't cost much, either. Around $2, IIRC. You can make them look more or less how you want by applying new textures to them. Again, there are tons in the Marketplace here. Working with heels: It got me confused for the longest time. Boots are pretty easy. Make the feet invisible and conform the boots to the model. That is, select the boot BODY and conform that to V3. Shoes or sandals with heels often have a fitting pose for the feet, or at least instructions on the amount of bend you need to apply. Rendering: Photoshop is not a renderer. It's a bitmap/vector paint package. No rendering capabilities at all. Poser ain't so bad at rendering, certainly not for its price range. P5 has more options than P4, but is something of a poisoned chalice, according to some folks here. I use P4 Pro Pack, and get reasonable results. There are several free light sets which will help you enormously. I can't give you advice about any other renderer, unfortunately. That said, DAZ Studio should be available "real soon now", but as a buggy Alpha version. The rendering abilities are said to be good, but nobody here could vouch for it's stability, ease of use or even release date. I'd be inclined to stick with whichever version of Poser you have for now, experiment with that and learn the basics. No disrespect, but your first renders will be absolute pants anyhow. Everyone's are. So, why spend a lot at the start? Good luck to you, hope I've been some help.
