Redistribution of characters is almost always forbidden. The few exceptions are clearly spelled out. Because of the anti-warez policies, be careful how you phrase something. We can't send you a Koshini character. You can purchase her, or you can find and download a free toonish character from the makers. Example MayaDoll and Sara are both free, and perhaps fit your definition of cute, or toonish, or adorable, or whatever it is you see in Koshini. Koshini and her variations (including centaurs) is at DAZ, so is Sara. MayaDoll is at the Studio Maya website. Even free characters have to be downloaded from the right websites: part of copyright is controlling distribution, but it also helps the maker to know how many people like which items, so they will make more of them. :) TenTen is another free character, and Yamato has made a variant to transform Judy (a figure you already own in Poser 5) into a real sweet lady. The manual might not be the best in the world, but it is a good starting point. There are also plenty of tutorials here (although mostly for Poser 4) which will help with the basics. Schlabber has writtten an excellent guide to posing (found on the CuriousLabs website). Nerd, PhilC, and others have written tutorials on getting dynamic clothing to work. Stewer has tutorials and such for the materials room. There is a lot to learn, so don't get over-whelmed. Pick a starting point, such as getting a character dressed so that the clothes stay on, and then work out to posing and lighting before sweating over the renderer. Carolly
