Thanks timburr, I've just copied your tips. I hope it's okay with you to send it over here and there to friends that like to watch me working with P5. Every time they see a finished render I hear the same thing: "How I wish I could do this too..." and because they know I'm using poser since years they are immediatly discouraged and some won't even try it out because they think they have to do it as quick as I (clicking here, pushing there, delting, adding, conforming - you know what I mean). And @singermatic: Look out for some light and camera-settings in the freestuff and search for P5-materials and some good skin-textures. You can also search the galleries for the phrases "freestuff" and "free". Start out with something really simple but make use of your collected lights, camera-settings, a few poses and, maybe a bit later materials. How about the free V3/M3 with a nice freebie-texture and Kozaburo's hair? (You may have to switch off the inverse kinematics to make the poses work!). If you managed to set up everything explore the free things. How did the developer made the light, the camera setting? Tweak it a bit to change the effects. And this exactly is the point where cretivity begins! Try to have fun instead of expecting too much at once. And about Dr. Geep's useful articles: http://www.renderosity.com/messages.ez?Form.ShowMessage=2096208

I'm not always right, but my mistakes are more interesting!

And I am not strange, I am Limited Edition!
