Hello,

This is a term I see a lot in the comments on some of the artwork I see in the gallery. How are you all actually doing this if you dont mind me asking?

I am new to this as you might have gathered from my previous post. Is there other software that I need besides Poser 5 and Photoshop 7?

Here is a link to a fabulous creation that I am refering to;

Well... I use a Wacom tablet to paint hair in post-work in Paint Shop Pro. Firstly I make the render to my liking, then open it up in PSP. I then use some filters on the hair (either completely re-making the hair or making just some touch-ups) - like EyeCandy Fur filter. Then I start using the tablet and paints the hair the way I feel it should be, but was not easily possible in Poser. I accomplish this using mainly basic PSP tools (smudge, lightness up, darkness down, soften, burn, hue to target, color to target...). Post-work could easily take longer than the actual time spent within Poser.

You may search the renderosity tutorial. There is one for painting the hairs by Crasher: http://www.renderosity.com/tut.ez?Form.ViewPages=98 and by beachadonie: http://www.renderosity.com/tut.ez?Form.ViewPages=125 Hope it helps...

I've recently started using Crasher's tutorial. It is easy to understand. I highly recommend her's. JV

Thank you all very much. As usual, this forum comes through for people in need.

Thank you all.
