Ok I was wondering if anybody has any good suggestions or links to somewhere where I can get some Ideas on rendering more realistic hair. I realize this is something that will require more than poser. suggestion appreciated email me if you like euricsis@bellsouth.net thanks in advance

You can definitely do realistic hair in Poser. Have you ever seen any of Kozaburo's work? It's very realistic. Or how about Catharina Przezak's amazing textures? (And the list could go on and on...there are lots of people providing the necessary parts to do great hair.) And, if you don't need to animate your results, you can use Paul Hafeli's method of mapping an actual photo of hair to a square, putting it in position on your figure, then using a transparency map to make it look totally real. I think many people underestimate Poser's capabilities.

ok, I understand the concept of the photo map but what am I dong wrong withg the transmapping? I can't seem to get a realistic "cut" in my hair styles to render them
