Writers often ask each other how they write. I'm wondering how you pose. I heat up a coffee, put on the headphones and play a CD to match the mood of the scene I'm rendering. It's usually between midnight and 7 AM and the family's all asleep. Just me awake, silently cussing at Poser 5 - ha ha How do you pose and what's usually going on around you when you do?

Similar to yours ;). Except that I solved the 'cussing at Poser 5' problem and use Poser 4 to do any serious posing... Poser 5's unwieldy/unresponsive dials drive me crazy (they always spin one or two points too far). Which I guess also answers the question of whether I use dials or the mouse in the editor window.. I use the dials pretty much exclusively.

Every Saturday/Sunday I stay posing with a cup of a good whisky on my side and let my imagination to flow up to the computer.

I do it any time I can.... which is not often with a very active 8 year old sigh It's usually about 9pm, once I've put him to bed, checked my mails, and sorted out my other bits and pieces... and I work through far too late considering I have to get up at 6am for work :D

but rubbermat, did you turn around 3 times first?( turnin to the left not the right)

rubbermat, I take it you use P5?

I just launch Poser and hit the "Create Art" button. ;)

I try dis, don't work...try dat..don't work neither, got da idea that if I move da shoulders 1st, I can move da arms farther, an..sometimes I jus go tru all da poses under 'poses', an fine somthin close ta what I want, an use dat, and tweak it lots..;) why dere's no pose just for sitting, 'ceptin that lotus flower position..;) sometimes I cheat an' don't export da whole thing, maybe just da top, if'n I makin' a pilot for a spaceship, an den export da thing to Bryce..;) Hooray for Naysay, my pal..;)
