Now, when I pose a figure, I usually start by applying a pose from the library, then tweak the limbs pose, then the hands, and then the "grasp", "spread" and "thumb grasp" dials, and only after all this do I tweak the fingers pose. Having the finger parts on the body parts list is thus useless for me 99% af the time. So I made up a pose that hides the fingers from the list, which makes it 30 items lighter. (you can download it through the link below) (apply the "hide fingers" pose) It justs sets the fingers as "hidden". You can still see them and apply Hands pose or modify the spread and grasp dials. You cannot select them by clicking on them in the workspace, nor can you select them via the body part list (obviously). You still can select them via the hierarchy editor (in Poser5 at least, I'm not that sure about Poser4). When you need to restore their selectability in the workspace, or put them back on the body part list, just apply the "unhide fingers" pose. I found this very useful for me, and thought I would share it with others. If there is enough interest for this tip, I'll put the link into the free stuff. I tested it on Vicky, the preTeen, MayaDoll and even Koshini. It should work also on the Daz eagle's talons. I don't know about V3 and M3. My apologies if this has already been done before. And all my thanks to Bloodsong for her book on the secrets of Poser 5.
