Well, in THEORY you can build your model in Poser alone. My Birdy is 95% pure Poser, I had him into UVMapper and some of his head morphs are made in other programs too but he's built in Poser Pro Pack with that blob-metaball-python-thingie. (forgot the name right now). Didn't use the Setup Room either, PhiBuilder is FAR more easy to work with! But to buy Poser and expect to get a character CREATION program is wrong imo. Btw Bloodsongs book is GREAT!

You just can't put the words "Poserites" and "happy" in the same sentence - didn't you know that? LaurieA
