I just purchased Poser 5 and installed it. From there I haven't a clue on how to get started. I love the Koshini character and would love to be able to (render her) I hope that is the correct way of phrasing it. Does anyone have a step by step tutorial for a newbie putting a character together for the very first time? Or could someone put one together and e-mail it to me? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance from the newbie!!!!!! Lorraine AKA-LTRaine625@aol.com

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

I'm sorry. I must not have made myself clear. i wasn't asking for someone to send me Koshini. I purchased her and several of her clothing paks from DAZ. I just wanted to know how I go about putting it all together. Thanks DavesRaine

REad the manual. Its pretty straight foward

Manuel's are boring, I know how you feel. When I got my Poser I just wanted to start and make an image right away. And just like you I posted here for help. Here is the same link that I recieved, nice place to start.. http://www.fallencity.net/tut-posb/index.php

Thank You all for your help. It is really appreciated by me. I welcome all the help I can get!!!!!
