"Creating and Animating Scenes in Poser" Anthony Hernandez; Paperback; $29.69 (hasn't been released yet) "Poser Revealed: The Official Guide : The Official Guide" Kelly L. Murdock; Paperback; $16.49

Excellent ideas dialyn Thanks so much for bringing these to our attention - I will put them on my list ASAP :) Dee-Marie

And here's another book every Poser user should have: "The Artist's Complete Guide to Facial Expressions" by Gary Faigin (published by Watson-Guptill)

Good idea! I think getting natural looking expressions is something many of us could use help with. Maybe Renderosity could consider having a review corner where members could comment on books that they have found useful (or not). Wouldn't have to just be on Poser. There's a lot of relevant art instruction out there...it's just hard to know what's worth investing in. I don't know if anyone else would be interested, but that's something I would check in on regularly. And people should forget to check at their library before making purchases. Libraries can save you from expensive mistakes in that area.

I second the idea about a section for short book reviews. (That's short reviews of books, not reviews of short books BTW!) I'd be happy to contribute if there was such a section. One that people who paint their own clothes in post might like to look at is 'Dynamic wrinkles and drapery' which contains everything you need to know about how cloth folds and wrinkles in almost any kind of pose.
