Might not know, actually. Bear with all of us, ochrejelly -- you are asking essentially to tell you how to do what a lot of folks have spent the last three years just learning! There is modelling (figures, sets, props, and more) Texturing (clothes, sets, figures, props, and more) Poses, Lights, -- heckfire, take a look a the marketplace to get an idea. Couple things I will say: one, go to the top of this page. Right above the spot where it says freestuff is a link called tutorials. Follow it, and start digging in. Not just the ones about Poser, but as many as you can stand. Read them all, try them all out. Throughout this forum are several posts by a DrGeep. Read them. Twice. Look at the stuff that is being sold now in the store, and look closely at the details and stuff -- texture maps, mesh building, the kinds of things being offered. No go do it better and more distinctively. The point is, before you'll be able to sell anything, you have to learn Poser. Inside and out. You gotta know what folks want, what they are using, and what they buy, but you also gotta know what all of it is -- what the terms used mean, how the things are used in Poser 4, in Pro Pack, AND in Poser 5 -- and that's not even counting DAZ Studio. If you model, you'll need to learn how to use the program you model in. If you are make textures, you'll need to learn how to make textures. Now, if you want to go beyond working within the community, as in doing stuff in the real world (lol), that's yet another issue. And it's a doozy. There are a lot of very exspensive programs out there that can do all of the above plus what Poser does, and they are used to make commercials, movies, stills, the works. So you have to look at the marketable abilit standpoint -- what can you make that isn't being ade out there right now, and who will buy it? That's called business planning and market research. And you'll need to do a lot of that. As long as ya don't live in arizona I'll tell ya what I do, lol!!
thou and I, my friend, can, in the most flunkey world, make, each of us, one non-flunkey, one hero, if we like: that will be two heroes to begin with. (Carlyle)
