So, what can you do with a glass man? I nabbed a wonderful fractal from Free Stuff here. Look under 2D where you can find fractals, photos, tiles and textures. This is "abstract" by dunstan. I resized my window (up in the menu under Window) ;^) and imported the image. Always be sure that you maintain the same aspect ratio if you do this! If you slap the texture on the 1-sided square, it isn't as vital. Dropped in the glass guy. No visible ground, since I didn't want falling shadows on it. Posed him to fit the image. Poser comes with oodles of fun poses to start with. The first thing I do is remove IK from any and all body parts. If I start with a canned pose, I remove limits, too. This was "scared", tweaked, of course. If you don't have any poses in the demo, start with the hip and cant it slightly, then work out from there, moving and pulling at things until he is interesting. Changed the lights to spots and made 7 colored lights. If you click on the color light button (up next to the icon showing your lights), you get an eye-dropper. Hold the mouse button down and bring it over the image... this way you can pick up the background colors and integrate them into your lighting! Anyway, I spent a couple of hours turning this guy into glass, posing him, and lighting him. The image is about 90% there... but as you know that last 10% is what drains the time. I'd need to spend a day or so tweaking the fingers and moving lights and noodling until I was happy with it... but this is enough to show possibilities with just a standard figure and backdrop. If you get the full program, you'll be able to do a lot more and with a bit more polish, so to speak! ;^) Carolly
